In the team’s inaugural season in the Pioneer Baseball League, we were crowned 2024 Champions, throughout the journey I gained valuable hands-on experience creating content, developing the brand, video producing and handling all game day broadcast operations. 

As the lead videographer, I captured on-field action and fan experiences, producing a documentary series that highlighted the team’s successful Championship run, utilizing the Adobe Creative Suite. Additionally, I wrote, filmed, and edited a long-form commercial promoting community values and initiatives for Yolo and Solano County. 

As the pressbox producer, I show-called all on-field fan activations, oversaw broadcast operations leading a crew of specialized media personnel, to create a seamless livestream on FloSports TV and YouTube Live. During the games I also managed team rosters, stats, records, video, and photos on our website and copyedited, published articles featuring the team’s results and video highlights.

Our dynamic episodes, spanning across Sailing, Tennis, Basketball, Snow Sports, Footy, Esports, Lacrosse, and live events like the sport awards and graduation. One of the podcast's highlights was the extensive coverage of the UniSport Nationals on the Gold Coast in 2023, providing daily recaps and insights, featuring live commentary and interviews at various venues, from tenpin bowling alleys and indoor stadiums to swimming pools and sailing club rooftops.

As the producer of the award-winning social impact documentary 'Cada Gota Cuenta' (Every Drop Counts), created through Actuality Media's Documentary Outreach Program in Guatemala in 2016, my role as producer was pivotal in coordinating the film crew, supervisors, and subjects.

The documentary sheds light on the detrimental effects of contaminated water in Guatemala, focusing on the story of Laura, a middle school student who fell seriously ill due to unsafe drinking water. The film follows her journey, guided by her school principal and the local changemaking group EcoFiltro, delivering a successful solution to purify water and improve the health and well-being of Guatemala's younger citizens.
