DIRECTOR WRITER EDITOR | NARRATIVE SHORT FILM
The story of La Juana, is the colorful and nostalgic story of a woman stuck in the past, living in the shadow of who she once was. Haunted by failed dreams and old lovers.
La Juana is a love letter to my Hispanic roots; our loud, passionate, humorous, colorful, dramatic and romantic culture.

DIRECTOR | Future of Abortion
Nearly 1 in 4 women have an abortion in their lifetime — it is essential health care. Planned Parenthood believes in the right of all people to make their own personal decisions about their bodies, their families, and their paths in life without political interference. Truly an honor to direct a series with the purpose to further the conversation around abortion and continue to destigmatize it.
