My love of movies, television, comedy, music and pop culture started at a very early age. Raised by only my mother in good ol’ San Antonio, we couldn’t afford to go on extravagant vacations. Thus, the world of entertainment—whether through television, film or music—became our escape from reality! For me, entertainment is not just something I've always loved—it is something I've always dreamed of working in.

Fueled by this passion—maybe even obsession—I have been blessed with wonderful opportunities to work in the entertainment field in Austin, Texas. Now that I have graduated and moved to Los Angeles I want to continue in this line of work and expand the breadth of my knowledge.

Several of the courses I took at the University of Texas challenged me to constantly think about new ways to provide effective, innovative and creative media. It is through these studies and practices that I realized I wanted to make an impact as a Latina in media. I’m striving for a fulfilling career in which Latinos have a voice, an opinion and are accurately represented across all media platforms.

When I’m not hard at work, I'm out and about watching films, experiencing live comedy shows or concerts, catching up on my latest TV obsession (House of Cards anyone?), exploring the outdoors (even though I have allergies) and socializing with friends and family.
