I am a media professional with more than 20 years of international experience under my belt. I have worked with a myriad of media companies on both sides of the Atlantic like ESPN, TV Azteca Mexico, Chile Vision, YLE Finland, Antena Greece, etc. My experience ranges from journalistic work in front of the camera and the production side. I hold a first degree in Performing Arts from the National School of Theatre in Mexico and a Masters degree in Audio Visual Production by London Metropolitan University. In 2021 I entered the world of academia as a journalism lecturer.

Correspondent for the UK
TV Azteca Mexico

TV presenting and producing hundreds of reportage for this leading Mexican Broadcaster in the UK and other parts of Europe. The job involves researching for news of relevance to the client and pitching the idea to get the assignment. Once the piece is accepted, I write the script, brief the camera people, perform on screen pieces to camera and the VO required and supervise the editing process when I am not editing the piece myself on Avid systems. I have overseen the overall budget planning and budget control, hiring and negotiating best rates with suppliers and managing the production workflow in general. My professional and disciplined approach has proven to be efficient and has streamlined the whole production process saving money to the company.
