About

I began my professional journey as a photojournalist in the Marine Corps, dedicating seven years of service and completing a tour in Afghanistan. Transitioning to civilian life, I pursued a creative writing program at UCSD, only to discover that my true calling lay in the visual arts of photography and videography. Currently, I am immersed in the study of documentary photography and video production at the University of California Berkeley, specializing in night photography and character-driven documentaries. My focus now centers on exploring masculinity within the Latino community, delving into the impact of "machismo" on the parenting approaches of Latino fathers for my upcoming master's thesis.
