VISUAL ARTS IS MY PASSION. 
I have had the privilege to be part of some amazing crews and projects, developing compelling stories that relay the human experience.  

As a child, I realized  the gift I had for the arts and visual mixed media.  I discovered and  experimented with  still photography, and video,  honing my skills.  I was accepted  to California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California where I had an amazing experience in the Character Animation and Film department.  I went on to become an animation artist and had the opportunity to be part of various animated films as well as countless television commercials.  I worked for major film studios including Warner Brothers, SONY Pictures, and Disney, as well as other commercial production houses.  My goal was ultimately to move into television production, telling stories that are compelling and inspiring.  I enjoy the opportunity and challenge in telling a story through visual images, and as a News Photographer I have the opportunity every day to convey a story through images.

NEWS PHOTOGRAPHER
I started in news production in 2008 where I was a News Photographer working at a Los Angeles local news television station.  I gained experience as a photo journalist and this is where I developed the passion for news gathering.  I gained great experience, and because of my passion, dedication and motivation, I was given the opportunity and privilege to work on some of the biggest stories of  our time as well as the  opportunity to travel locally, nationally and internationally.
I currently work as an independent  camera operator (photo journalist) with various clients including CNNE, Univision network, and Disney .  I look forward to continuing to develop stories that move people through the images I capture, and working with a team that strives for excellence and professionalism.
