About me

I was born and educated in Spain, living in California, and engaged in professional film, TV and commercial work since 2003 in both countries, I am currently seeking directing work.

I have directed a feature film, a documentary, 5 short films, a webs series pilot, TV Shows, 14 PSA and over 20 commercials and sizzle reels. Elegible to work as a DGA 2nd AD, placed in the SoCal Film Qualification List and the National Commercials Qualification List. I have been a first assistant director for feature films, TV movies, series, news, and live magazine TV Shows.

My exposure to film and television began almost at birth, as my mother was a film and television producer. My instincts for telling stories were also shaped by international travels with my father, a captain in the merchant navy. I grew up capturing other cultures and ways of life on camera, studying fine arts, literature, and theatre, and working as a child actor. By my teens, I had directed my first short film and been a production assistant for a production crew company. In college, I began work as an assistant director for news and live magazine programs, and quickly transitioned to dramatic series and film. I continue to be intensely engaged in storytelling for the screen, whether as a director placing my own creative imprint, or as an assistant director supporting the collaborative process of creating cinematic magic.
