I'm a filmmaker, videographer, actor from NYC with education in performance in film and television. I switched gears from acting full time and started directing film and social engagement videos. Having an acting background gave me insight on how to speak to actors and executing a clear vision technically and in performance. I have won awards internationally and have been nominated over the course of 5 years. I have learned everything from my mentors and previous positions as executive assistant to tv and film directors on streaming networks. Something special about my work is that I do my very best to always include and highlight diverse talent to accurately depict us in media. --- **Film Director ** Ruiz Productions LLC _August 2019 - Present **Actor** CBS/OXYGEN/CNN/HULU _September 2013 - Present **Film Instructor ** Astoria Film Festival _September 2024 - Present **Associate Producer ** Within _October 2023 - March 2024 **Associate Producer ** Daily Mail TV _January 2022 - August 2022 **Production Coordinator ** Daily Mail TV _January 2022 - August 2022 **Executive Assistant ** Woke and Whimsical Productions _September 2020 - March 2023 **Executive Assistant ** Millicent Shelton _July 2019 - March 2020…I'm a filmmaker, videographer, actor from NYC with education in performance in film and television.
