What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on live-production role where I can lead teams, manage high-volume sports broadcasts, solve real-time issues, and continue developing technical and leadership skills.

I am a broadcast operations professional with three years at a global live-content company, where I progressed from operator to team lead, training and supervising operators while managing high-volume sports production for clients including Apple TV, NBA, MLB Network, and Televisa Univision.

I excel at real-time coordination, scheduling, and technical execution—running ad breaks, performing pre-broadcast checks, and resolving issues via Zendesk and JIRA—while producing reliable results across thousands of live streams and mentoring teammates to maintain seamless on-air broadcasts.
