I have dedicated my professional life to the media and audiovisual production of entertainment and advertising content. I have worked in both large international corporations in this field and independently, both in front of and behind cameras, with all kinds of responsibilities. I haven't lost the nerve or the excitement of doing this. For me, every day is as exciting as the first.
