Hard working, efficient photojournalist with a knack for bringing a cinematic feel  to broadcast news. Not only did I shoot and edit, I operated Live Remote unit, ran audio board for News Casts, and floor directed talent in a three camera set up, without any additional operators in the studio.

I also received a Lonestar Emmy Nomination for Aprendiendo Escuchar 2011, a series I shot and edited for Arantxa Loizaga.
