Professional shooter with more than 10 years of experience working for digital platforms and independent production houses such as the Academy Award-winning documentary film studio, FARALLON FILMS, where I trained in scriptwriting, archival research, producing, directing, shooting, editing, color correction, and sound mixing.
I am a confident and effective shooter, comfortable directing complex sequences and filming observational scenes. I love shooting verite style and consider shooting run and gun my specialty. I am proficient in using a variety of cameras with a specialty in LUMIX and SONY cameras, delivering in a variety of codecs and formats utilizing Final Cut Pro and Avid Media Composer as my prefered editing tools.
I am adept at finding sources, gaining access to difficult locations, building trust within communities, especially when it comes to thoroughly finding Latino-centric stories as I am bilingual in Spanish, including seasonal contribution as an official elections materials specialist and translator for the County of San Mateo as well as the City and County of San Francisco.
