(January, 1998)

She is a Mexican director, writer, editor, and producer. Currently, she is a thesis student at the National School of Film Arts (ENAC), UNAM in Mexico. Her work is characterized by in-depth documentary research and formal exploration, blending elements of fantasy with animal behavior documentaries.

In 2018, she produced the environmentally themed documentary short Reverdecer for the IMAX In Focus program. She also worked as producer and cinematographer on the short film Clouds (2019), which was featured at the Black Canvas FCC 2019. Her film school thesis, POV: You’re a Cat, is currently in post-production.

Her short film We Animals was part of the official international selection at the 22nd Film and Video Festival in Beijing, the Aporia Village Film Festival in South Korea, and the NUFF (Nordisk Ungdom Film Festival) in Norway. This year, she wrote and directed the documentary short The Maya Forest: When a Tapir Gazes Upon You, which addresses conservation initiatives for the Central American tapir in Mexico and Belize. The film was selected from over 60 worldwide proposals and funded by Wildscreen (the world’s leading wildlife film festival) and the British organization On the Edge.
