With a strong background in administration and project management, I had the amazing opportunity to lead the daily operations of a cinema camera rental house (CINE 2481), supporting feature films, documentaries and TVCs.

Working closely with cinematographers and state-of-the-art equipment, I built a reputation as a calm, reliable point of contact for crew and production in this fast-moving environment.

Now seeking on-set roles as Onset PA or 3rd AD. The demands on an AD are what I enjoy most: planning, scheduling, communicating, keeping teams aligned, solving problems under pressure, and delivering the day with grit and love for filmmaking.

My strength lies in coordinating complex resources, logistics and workflows across constantly changing schedules with exceptional adaptability and precision.

Highly proficient in MS Suite, Google Workspace, and project management software. Manual QLD driver’s license. Bilingual (English & Spanish).

Available at short notice for AD attachment, PA or Assistant Director roles.
