⏱️ In a few more seconds
I have produced and managed media productions and campaigns for companies and organizations like Disney, Yahoo!, Live Nation, and the University of Southern California. I also co-created World of the Weasel, a series of books for kids, and founded Spitball Studio to bring those books to market.
In 2024 I graduated with an M.A. in Learning, Design, and Technology (LDT) from Georgetown University.
If creative and analytical thinking were polarized like handedness, I’d consider myself ambidextrous; I believe they are not mutually exclusive, however, but reinforce each other.
🧐 In case you’re still reading
I am an excellent verbal and written communicator with a strong ability to connect diverse audiences and ideas. In this capacity I have engaged with business professionals, professors and administrators in higher education, public radio listeners, military officers, film producers, nurses, software developers, concertgoers, elementary school kids, and journalists. I have extensive experience as a writer, editor, researcher, producer, and project manager.
I read a lot, especially about technology, science, history, current affairs, and psychology.
At the University of Texas at Austin, I majored in Economics and Plan II Honors and minored in mathematics. While at UT, I co-founded, produced, and anchored the current affairs program on KVRX student radio. I wrote my undergraduate honors thesis on perceptions of college and the effectiveness of its goals.
I speak fluent Spanish.
