I am a director
because I believe in the power of media to defy, to transform, and to heal.
Raised in the Sonoran Desert on both sides of the border, my work is influenced by the literal and figurative space between the two countries. Present in all of my projects are themes of identity and culture, and I strive to break the boundaries of those ideas.
I’ve worked with national brands such as Sephora, Buchanans, and Netflix. In 2020, I was a creative producer for the inaugural class of the Disney Launchpad Shorts Incubator. After that, I worked as a director and producer at mitú making content for Latinos, by Latinos. I now direct music videos and short films with my production company, JUNTAS. We’re available for work, so reach out!
As a linguist and filmmaker, my first love is language. I earned a BA in Linguistics from the University of Arizona where I became enthralled with the way language and storytelling shape our lives.
When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me running around Boyle Heights or hanging with my dog, Lola.
