EXPERIENCE

Envoy Air | American Airlines Group | Irving, Texas | Senior Digital Media Specialist
May 2019 - Present

As part of a cross-functional Communications team for Envoy Air (a wholly owned subsidiary of the American Airlines Group), I help identify story ideas and develop video content that are both internal and external facing on our main website and all of our social media platforms. Our videos help Envoy Air connect with both current and prospective team members. The videos produced employ video and motion graphics to create engaging content that connects with our audiences. I handle everything from pre to post production. Videos are from internal training videos, day in the life documentary style videos, recruiting and marketing/promotional videos.


American Airlines | Fort Worth, Texas | Videographer/Editor
August 2016 - April 2019

Produced videos on behalf of the American Airlines Creative Services team within the Global Engagement department. Projects were for a variety of audiences including over 130,000 Team Members worldwide, customers, the general public and other target groups. The style of videos varied from news style packages, 2D animations, social media posts and short documentary style productions. As the Videographer/Editor, I was responsible for conceptualizing, designing, storyboarding, directing, shooting, editing and creating motion graphics. I coordinated the production workflow from pre through post-production and the distribution to ensure that the quality standards were met in all deliverables.


Rent-A-Center | Plano, Texas | Senior Video Producer
April 2012 - August 2016

Led productions on training videos for the training and development of field coworkers across the company (in the US, Puerto Rico, Canada and Mexico) and coworkers at the Field Support Center (F.S.C.). Worked with the marketing teams and agencies in both the US and Mexico to edit, produce and create motion graphics for national and international television commercials, in store presentations and social media content. Created radio commercials for the RAC brands: Home Choice , Get It Now!  and RAC La Mejor Forma de Comprar. Worked closely with all departments at the F.S.C. to execute video productions, from pre to post, to support new initiatives and corporate events. Photographed events, executive and coworker headshots and assisted with the marketing photo-shoots for the freestanding inserts.


Telemundo Dallas | NBC Universal | Fort Worth, Texas | Marketing Producer/Editor
May 2004 - March 2012

Produced and edited commercials, promos, infomercials and corporate videos for the news department, sales, station sponsors, clients and the Telemundo National Network. Created radio commercials, motion graphics and designed print publications for the local station and six other Spanish language markets in the Southwest region of the US operated by the Telemundo Production Center (T.P.C.). Assisted with the on-site execution of multiple station events and media tours while taking photos for internal and external use. Directed video presentations, shoots, marketing projects and took part as the Social Media Producer by providing content and design to the station’s social media platforms while following all station/network rules and branding guidelines.
