Work Experience
2021 - 2022
My career led me to work as a freelance with NBC Universal; Telemundo. In 2021 I worked as an Operations Coordinator for the 2020 Summer Tokyo Olympics. Then, I returned in early 2022 as a Games Manager for the 2022 Men's World Cup in Qatar, leading to a role switch to Talent Coordinator on-site in Qatar during the live games.
Today
I took a big step into my career and decided to do 100% freelance, this allows me to work on multiple projects and/or dedicate my time into specific clients and films. I opened an LLC under the name TXT Studio with an editing bay located in the city of Coral Gables, FL. I can also mobilize myself and work on projects and films as a Producer, Camera operator (DP), Director, and Editor.
