What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that fosters creativity and collaboration, where I can leverage my extensive media experience to drive impactful projects.

With over 20 years of experience in the media industry, I have honed my skills across various fields including television, live events, sports, marketing, design, and entertainment. My journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a passion for creativity, allowing me to manage multiple projects and timelines effectively. As a bilingual professional fluent in English and Spanish, I thrive in diverse environments and excel at building strong relationships with talents, producers, and agencies.

In my current role as a Business & Field Representative at SAG AFTRA, I negotiate contracts and coordinate events, ensuring smooth operations and successful outcomes. My previous experiences as an Advertising Director and Production Coordinator have equipped me with excellent negotiation and presentation skills, enabling me to oversee projects from inception to completion. I am a team leader who embraces challenges and consistently seeks innovative solutions to complex problems.
