About

I'm a digital media producer based in New York. At LatinoJustice PRLDEF, a national Latino civil rights organization, I produce video, photography, design, and social content.

I script, shoot, and edit video in English and Spanish, including legal explainers with staff attorneys, coverage of courtrooms, hearings, and Capitol Hill, comedy promos, animated explainers, and series built with partner organizations. I design the graphics, carousels, and campaign kits that go with them, and manage the organization's website and media library.

Before LatinoJustice, I made video for senior-living and social-service organizations in Seattle and Austin.
