I m the Digital Strategy Coordinator at MTV Social Impact as well as founder of the Light Leaks. I m primarily a filmmaker but work to highlight the need for representation in media in all work I do. In my work at MTV, I strategize digital campaigns that connect to social impact issues the MTV audience cares about. I ve written for Refinery29, BUST Magazine, We Are Mitu, have had visual work published Brit Co., CNBC, HelloFlo, and more. Additionally, I ve done speaking engagements on topics ranging from mental health to creativity to representation in film for Urban Outfitters, Firefox, and at various film festivals as well as universities.

The Light Leaks is a website for the education, empowerment, and inspiration of women and GNC filmmakers that I started in Feb 2017 out of my dorm room. The site's goals are accomplished through editorial content as well as live events. The site has over 30k page views, partnerships with various female film-centric websites, and has gained recognition from BUST Magazine, Issa Rae Productions, NYU, Amy Poehler's Smart Girls, and more. As a Latina artist I want to push minorities to the forefront of their own stories.
