WORK
PRODUCER
Benito Greene Arte Público
I’m currently the Producer at Benito Greene Arte Público, a public art initiative that transforms billboards across the border city of Ciudad Juárez, México, into large-scale contemporary art exhibitions.
As an artist, being able to contribute to the cultural landscape of the city that shaped me is both deeply personal and professionally rewarding.
SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER
Local Projects
Being part of the Local Projects team was a milestone in my career. I had the opportunity to collaborate with brilliant Creative Directors, Designers, and Technologists to develop larger-than-life concepts, all designed to foster connection and create meaningful experiences.
SENIOR PROJECT MANAGER
Blue State
The experience of building purpose-driven projects makes all the hard work worth it. At Blue State, I worked with the dream team to develop betherecertificate.org, a self-paced learning interactive microsite focused on promoting mental health literacy.
PRODUCER
Phillips
At Phillips, I led the creation of video content for the 20th Century and Contemporary Art Sale, collaborating with art specialists, gallery managers, and the filming crew. It was an exciting experience, especially filming amidst the opening exhibition at their new headquarters. Getting a behind-the-scenes look at how an exhibition comes together added a whole new layer of appreciation for the process.
PROJECT MANAGER
Zeno Group
As the first Project Manager for the Creative Services team at Zeno Group NY, I was happy to partner with the Creative Director to create and implement project intake processes and restructure production workflows to favor scalability and profitability.
PROJECT MANAGER
Fast Company
In my four years working as a Producer and Project Manager at fastcompany.com, I launched FastCoNews and its mobile-first CMS, oversaw the complete site redesigns, and contributed to starting a viral and heated discussion on Twitter by crowning the Best Burger in America.
MEDIA PRODUCTION MANAGER
The University of Texas at El Paso
At UT El Paso, I mentored a team of videographers and designers while integrating emerging tech into storytelling. From QR code scavenger hunts to AR-enhanced materials, I explored creative ways to engage faculty and students, including producing an NSF-funded comic book project for the International Polar Year, designed to inspire women and minority groups to explore STEM.
