I am one of three teachers with the Emmy award winning Film School Of San Antonio at Harlandale that instruct students on how to script, storyboard, direct, light and edit film.

Teacher

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.
