Attending Vancouver Film School was a challenging yet invaluable experience that significantly shaped my career.

I earned my Diploma in Film Production in December 2016, specializing in Directing and Cinematography.

Antarctica

One of the most exciting projects I’ve ever worked on was as Co-Director, Videographer, and Editor for the educational TV series "Explorers Below 0", which documented Ecuadorian scientists' research in Antarctica. I spent three months at the 'Pedro Vicente Maldonado' Ecuadorian Military Base, where I worked in extreme conditions, handling heavy equipment, filming scientists, backing up footage, and editing the content. Back in Ecuador, I led the production and editing of seven episodes, covering topics such as DNA, mapping, moss, wildlife, and the region's flora and fauna.

Ecuador

I spent over three years working on a variety of productions, including music videos, TV commercials, documentaries, and educational series, as Director, Videographer, and Editor alongside an incredible crew. One of my key projects at Postdata, in collaboration with Holcim Ecuador, was the documentary *United We Are More*. As Director, my goal was to showcase how local communities and Holcim could unite in their efforts to protect the environment. This impactful project took about a year to complete, and I’m proud of the meaningful work we accomplished.

Ecuador

I had the privilege of directing "Cuando La Mente Baila" one of the most challenging films I’ve ever made. Released in 2011 at the renowned EDOC (Encuentros del Otro Cine) Documentary Film Festival in Ecuador, the film earned 4th place among more than 60 international films. The documentary challenges traditional views on mental health and sanity, exploring the concept of ‘mind dancers’ and redefining the understanding of mental well-being.
