I'm a video producer and motion graphics animator based in Albuquerque, NM, with a bachelor's degree in Creative Media (Animation and Visual Effects concentration) and 4+ years of experience across broadcast news, government communications, and documentary production. I'm open to relocation.
My work spans producing and directing, cinematography, lighting, drone, editing, motion graphics, and 3D animation, from concept through delivery. I was the sole animator on two Regional Emmy Award–winning 4Investigates stories at KOB4, and my work has also been recognized with state broadcasting awards for editing and a 2026 SURFACE: Emerging Artists of New Mexico award.
