Travel has been ingrained in me before I could even speak. And the need to work and live in new places has influenced me in more ways than one, particularly my desire to tell personal narratives through visual media.
I'm inspired by my own personal Latin American roots as well as the unique stories birthed from the places that make up this region and elsewhere. My hope is that I can give do justice to the representation of the people I have met along the way and the stories they have shared with me.

Videography
This is a project I helped develop as a grad student at The New School. The documentary focuses on the questions that arise regarding the pacification of favelas around Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and explores issues on security, housing development, race, health, and basic human rights.
