About
After studying film and television at Jorge Tadeo Lozano University in Colombia, I began working as a production assistant, advancing to line producer for Dancing with the Stars Colombia for renowned American broadcasters Fox Channel and Nat Geo. I then moved into drama and worked as cast coordinator on the Fox series Sitiados II.
In 2018, I relocated to the UK and gained experience in sustainability and live event management with Thomson Reuters UK. Now, I am thrilled to be back in the industry as a Production Coordinator for BBC Proms 2023 in unscripted TV. My ultimate goal is to transition back into the role of a line producer in scripted HETV or film production. As a 2021 NFTS Factual Production alumna, I have a solid understanding of UK production practices and bring quick learning abilities and adaptability to any project. I take great pride in being a part of the ScreenSkills Returners Mentoring Programme, which aligns with my passion for continuous growth and development.
