I was born and raised in Miami, Florida to Cuban-born parents. As a child, I loved to read, draw cartoons, & write stories about animals. I earned an MFA in Film Production in 2011 while working as a full time teacher, & suddenly my two passions merged. The more I learned about filmmaking, the better teacher I became.

Why?

Because I understood the importance of a great story. Everyone has a story, and it’s through stories that we connect. Connecting with my students became my first priority, and it completely changed my classroom vibe as well as my cinematic eye.

I’ve been a teacher for 17 years & a photographer & filmmaker for 13 years. I have never been deliberate about combining my two passions. Until now.

Let’s connect.
