As a project manager, I have developed a solid knowledge and expertise in planning and logistics worldwide. As a manager and team leader, I have served as Latin America’s Bureau Chief for NBC Universal based in Mexico for over a decade on a management and editorial role.I have developed and produced content for the best digital and broadcast platforms in the world, including Eurosport, Discovery, NBC Universal, The Travel Channel, Nat Geo, ITN, MSNBC, BBC World, Animal Planet, The History Channel, Australia’s Channel 7 and Channel 10 and Televisa amongst others. I have also specialised in Health and Environment documentary production, working on the impacts of Coronavirus, the development of vaccines and the effects of air quality in the Amazon, which is currently in development for a series for NBC and previous experience in environmental and Health films for the Rockefeller foundation, GAVI and the Gates Foundation.These varied experiences have allowed me to gain a diverse 360 vision as well as strong creativity, rich storytelling and knowledge within the industry, which makes me a highly useful contributor who adjusts easily when it comes to new projects and work environments, and a valuable asset to most organisations.I am comfortable working with talent, presenters, celebrities, personalities and athletes, and have experience moderating and presenting conferences and panels. As a people’s person, I am emphatic, thorough, professional, a good communicator and hopefully, an inspiring leader.
