What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role that blends storytelling and analytical problem-solving—where I can lead production, coordinate stakeholders, and apply my payments-support experience to improve reliability and customer outcomes.

I’m a film studio owner and producer/cinematographer based in Zapopan, Jalisco, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication and Audiovisual Arts from ITESO. I opened my own business, Foro Gama, where companies can film TV commercials, music videos, series, short films, and feature films—combining creative direction with an execution-first mindset.

Before building Foro Gama, I worked as an Analyst on Facebook projects at Accenture and BCForward, supporting fundraising, marketplace, seller, and Messenger payments (P2P). I also served as a Point of Contact (POC), including handling legal threats, which strengthened my critical thinking, time management, and ability to perform under pressure—skills I bring into every production workflow.
