Los Angeles, California, United States

I co-hosted the Tastemade travel television show "Basic vs Baller" which premiered on Youtube TV and Facebook Watch and was subsequently licensed to the global streaming platforms of HULU and Amazon Prime. The show consists of 10 episodes of the 22-minute programming, where I showcase the different travel experiences available to viewers on different budgets. The show concept revolves around an initial trivia competition with my brother to win a big budget, used to experience 10 different locations around the world. One brother wins a big "Baller" budget, the other has to make do on a shoestring. It can be watched here: https://www.hulu.com/BasicVsBaller/

After winning Mydestination.com's global travel contest, the "Biggest Baddest Bucket List" I traveled to 6 continents in 6 months as a full-time content creator for the British Travel company My Destination. Working in collaboration with my brother, I directed, filmed, edited and uploaded over 60 videos of original content, mini travel documentaries for the company's Youtube channel. We visited 25 destinations in 25 weeks and presented, produced, and published over 25+ hours of original travel content. This position jump-started my career as a travel filmmaker and gave me the opportunity to pursue my passion of travel filmmaking, story telling and digital media creation.

My role was that of Cultural Ambassador and English Language Teaching Assistant hired to bring practical language skills and cultural diversity to the public school system in schools across Spain.
