About

A Communications graduate who is passionate about films, documentaries and TV, and cannot get enough of them. Having taken some production-related courses at the National Film School (NFTS), handled media relations at Málaga Film Festival and been a runner/assistant at various other companies, I would love to keep learning more in this field. I am confident that my previous project management background and positive attitude would also come in very handy.

Language-wise, I am fully bilingual in English and my native Spanish, following 10+ years in the UK, and I particularly enjoy dealing with people while translating or interpreting.
