AFS Production Services provides immersive training and professional workforce development through our Creative Careers program, which includes fee-for-service client projects and non-fee job shadowing for resume building and industry connection opportunities. I spearhead a team of Creative Careers participants as we offer full service productions (from development to delivery) including the use of industry-standard equipment and production spaces available at Austin Public.

Reel Retro Productions is a digital media company dedicated to the creation and formation of imaginative ideas and artistic expressions. Our focus is on narrative film, documentaries, music videos and cinematic promotions.

Music is the sound of a film's heartbeat. The creation of a unique and recognizable voice of a moving picture.

Returning to work with the "Emergencia Youth Film" portion of the Cine Las Americas Film Festival, I volunteered to be a Lead Mentor and help delegate the work with the youth judges we had that year. Short films were submitted from all over the world and it was my job to make certain that every decision was unbiased, fair and got the chance to be screened for freinds and family.

Working with elementary school students in an after-school environment, I taught the advantages of creative digital media and how it can make an impact in their community and personal lives.

Worked along side company creatives to produce client ready content including video, motion graphics, DVD authoring, etc.

As one of the heads of Media Production and a program alum, it was my job to mentor youth interested in Film and Digital Media, as well as, produce video content for promotional and internal use.
