I tell stories. On paper. On camera. On screen.

​

I started as a journalist, chasing stories for CNN and CNET. Since then, I’ve built a career moving between filmmaking, media, communications, and creative strategy—always looking for the story underneath the story.

​

I’ve traveled across the U.S. and around the world producing documentaries, directing interviews, developing campaigns, shaping brands, and helping organizations and filmmakers find the narrative that makes people pay attention. My work spans journalism, PBS, independent film, documentary, arts and culture, and social-impact storytelling.

​

But writing is where all those worlds come together.

​

I’m drawn to history, science, mythology, forgotten stories, and the strange places where fact and imagination collide. I write fairy tales with an edge—stories about alternate worlds, ancient myths, ghosts, memory, identity, and people fighting to rewrite the fate handed to them.

​

As a Mexican-American writer and filmmaker with Indigenous roots—and someone who has lived, worked, studied, and traveled across cultures—I’m fascinated by the stories humans have told for thousands of years to explain who we are. Myths may belong to particular cultures, but the questions inside them are universal: Who has power? Who gets remembered? What do we owe one another? And can we change the ending?

​

That’s the kind of story I want to tell.

​

Stories that look backward, imagine something new, and leave a little light on for the world ahead.
