Professional background:

I grew up up in the Texas Hill Country, then started my career in Washington, DC, after graduating from American University with degrees in Film & Media and Spanish Language. I cut my teeth at Baney Media, a full-service documentary production firm, where I worked first as an an editor, and later as a producer of socially-focused narrative content.

While in DC, I worked for Discovery Studios as an Associate Producer, National Geographic Channel International as an editor, and produced and edited for a variety of clients, from corporate video to TV documentaries.

I moved to Austin in 2011 to work for SXSW as a full-time, in-house producer, producing and directing live webcasts, and creating promotional videos for official SXSW events throughout the year. I later spent 2 years at FloSports, a sports media company, where I produced  commercial content for brands ranging from Nike, adidas, Under Armour, Brooks, and many more. 

Most recently, I was Managing Producer at Alamo Drafthouse, where I produced, shot, and edited ads, trailers, pre-shows and the famous Don't Talk PSAs for all Alamo theaters nation-wide, until a certain pandemic intervened. Currently I'm the media producer for the LBJ Presidential Library, an Austin institution, and open to freelance and consulting projects.
