ARTIST STATEMENT

As a young man moving to different cities and having to move from one school to another always made me feel like an outsider. Storytelling is where I found my common ground with many people and it helped me connect with them. I would also connect with these stories and these characters and people that would affect me deeply on a personal level.  All these experiences really impacted me as I feel like these are the very reasons that I wanted to become a storyteller myself and show life from my point of view. All of them made me an emphatical person and made me want to tell stories to do for other people what stories had done to me. Currently I am a student at NMSU’s CMI and Journalism program and I am hoping to learn as much as I can through my journey here at NMSU by getting as much experience as I can, improving  and working as much as I can. I decided to study here at NMSU because of its good programs, its very talented teachers that I have been meeting throughout the years, and because it offers several opportunities in the industry for international students like me. To me storytelling is all ABOUT people and their experiences and that's why I decided to become one.

BIO

Hello everyone! I am Mexican storyteller and content creator who faces everyday existence with positivity and a willingness to improve. I like being able to do a bit of everything as a sort of "Jack of All Trades" and as an aspiring film and journalism student at NMSU with the hope to be much more. Born in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, I later moved to Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua where I was able to study in the US by crossing the border every day. When the time came to go to college, I decided to attend NMSU’s CMI and Major in Digital Filmmaking and in Journalism. I love every aspect of creating content whether it's doing camerawork, editing, working with sound, writing, producing, anchoring, acting, etc. for social media, TV, film and/or journalism. At this moment my focus is to finish my studies at NMSU and garner the experience and knowledge from the many teachers I have had in the past few years. This with the goal to be able to incorporate that same knowledge to my work in my jobs and internships where I work currently or will do so in the future. In my spare time I continue to produce videos and short films by myself and with the help of friends and colleagues as well as taking a few gigs here and there to improve and maintain my skills.
