I grew up between Spain, Argentina, and the United States.
That’s probably where the interest started — in translating one
audience to another.
Art came first. Filmmaking came about five minutes later. Years
before anyone taught me anything, I was making stop-motion films at home with my
American Girl dolls and posting them to a YouTube channel — animating,
shooting, and editing every one of them myself. The subjects have changed. The
process hasn’t.
Right now I’m taking a gap semester in New York, working full
time in marketing and communications and cutting a feature documentary as assistant
editor at Wolf Hill Films.
In spring 2027 I transfer to Northeastern for a BA in Communication
and Media Studies, with a minor in Film Studies — a minor that asks for
filmmaking alongside the analysis and the theory, which is exactly what I want.
I came to this from neuroscience. I studied it at the University of
Michigan — LSA Honors, undergraduate research, two years of lab work in the
Corfas Lab and at Harvard Medical School. What pulled me in was never the bench
itself. It was the question underneath it: how people think, and why an audience
responds to one thing and not another.
But research only answers that question in one direction, and it left
no room for the creative side I’d been feeding since I was a kid. In
communications, both finally fit. The same interest in how an audience thinks
— applied to work I get to make, instead of only observe.
