A LITTLE ABOUT ME

Myself

I am a storyteller originally from Brazil and currently living in Los Angeles. As a first-generation immigrant, I am deeply committed to promoting JEDI+ (Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Belonging) in storytelling, both in front of and behind the camera. I am proud to be part of the BCorp's Pledge 1% community, which recognizes my efforts in this area.

Thanks to my experiences living and traveling abroad, I am adaptable to any environment, culture, and people. I am fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, which allows me to work effectively with clients and colleagues from diverse backgrounds.

I am always eager to learn from new experiences and consider myself a "forever student." I apply the lessons I learn to every project I work on. As a result, I was selected as one of the Top 40 leaders accepted by the FUTURE NOW Media & Entertainment Conference, a leadership incubator. I am also a mentee of the Association of Independent Commercial Producers (AICP) and Ryan Reynolds' and Blake Lively's Group Effort Initiative (GEI). In 2023, I was selected for Coachella's Accessible+ Program, to advance the career of BIPOC PWD live event professionals where I had the opportunity to be mentored by GoldenVoice's Director of Festivals and photograph the Main Stage from the pit.

To further advance my business efforts, I was sponsored by Paysafe for an Entreprenista League, a membership community for current and future generations of women leaders and entrepreneurs. Additionally, I was chosen as one of the top 50 businesses for the Get Venture Ready Cohort by Fearless Fund and Ally Bank.

ABOUT MY WORK

Storyteller

With over 14 years of professional experience, I have traveled to 10 countries and adapted to different situations, making connections that have translated into my career in photography as well as live event, film, and TV production.

I am a Telly Award-winning Producer/Writer, and my work can be seen on PBS American Masters' Elsa, which is currently distributed in over 20 channels throughout the country. I am also an exhibited photographer, and my work has been showcased in art galleries, fairs, and markets in more than 25 countries.

I have been involved in various capacities in the making of several films, including serving as a Crowdfunding and Social Media Manager and Associate Producer. The films I have worked on have been shortlisted for the 96th Academy Awards Live Action Short and have been seen in qualifying festivals in more than 6 countries.

As a result of my experience, I have served as a judge and programmer for prestigious film festivals such as Slamdance, Diversity in Cannes (sponsored by Viola Davis), Bushwick Film Festival, and ReelAbilities Los Angeles. I am also a member of TrendWatching’s Business of Purpose and enjoy mentoring students from UCLA, New York Fashion Institute of Technology, UNC-Chapel Hill, and American University through the T-Howard Foundation Programs.

I am currently developing more documentaries and narrative films, including This Too Shall Pass, which is a semifinalist for the Filmmatic Drama Screenplay Awards (Season 6) and a quarter-finalist for the Creative World Awards.
