About

With a Masters Degree in Audio-Visual Production and a BA in Performing Arts under my belt, my professional career has involved working at the top end of high profile communications, broadcast and advertisement projects .Before moving to London in late 1999, I extensively worked in theatre , TV production and advertising in Mexico City. During this time I was General Manager at two of the most renowned theatre venues in the city and Production Manager at a well established theatre production company too.After a few years, I moved into TV production and direction. I directed around 200 educational TV programs, TV ads and corporates, gaining great experience directing some of the best Mexican actors and actresses.After that amazing period of my professional life in Mexico, I moved to London where I completed a Masters Degree in Audio Visual Production at London Metropolitan University. Because of my performing arts and media production education and experience, I then started to work in front and behind the camera.Very soon after completing the MA, I started to work as the Head Correspondent for TV Azteca Mexico in the UK, reporting from many parts of Europe, the UK and other places like Iran and the United Arab Emirates. I steadily began to build up experience reporting on a wide range of issues and interviewing a huge array of personalities of almost every single field.My love for the technical part of the production process has been fulfilled by offering my free-lance services as a self shooting PD and video editor to many high profile international broadcasters that have hired my services in London like ESPN, Anthenna Greece, MTV Finland, Telemundo USA, Caracol Colombia, Art TV & Canal 13 Argentina, Chilevisión and many others. As a Communications and PR consultant my clientele portfolio ranges from local UK costumers to international broadcasters and corporations from the private and public sector.My love for performing arts is fulfilled working as a Spanish/English Voice Over artist in the UK and my voice can be heard in several high profile advertising campaigns, corporate & educational programmes.In April 2021 I started this new adventure in the wonderful world of academy when I was appointed as the BA Journalism Course Director at London's South Bank University.I then joined City, University of London as Lecturer for the MA Degrees in Broadcast and TV Journalism.
