Biography: I was Born in Puerto Rico in 1982, studied a bachelor's degree in journalism at the University of Puerto Rico. The passion to tell stories that touch and travel drive me to do studies out of the country, so I travel to Barcelona to get a Master's degrees in The Theory and Development of the Creative Documentary Film, from Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona. After the great experience that it gave me, I did another Master's degree in Direction and Production of the 35mm film, from Universitat Politécnica de Catalunya. I have prior experience as a news editor and producer in radio that's why the I enjoy making sound so much. I work as a sound recordist and editor (which I prefer to call designer) for documentary films. And in the mean time develop also ideas for further projects. As I said I like to travel, to make documentaries and to learn different languages.
