I was introduced to the richness of images through a class of Photography, when I studied Graphic Design, around 2004 In Nicaragua. After that, every time I had a camera on my hands, I wanted to play with it like a child receiving a present for Christmas. From there, I decided that I wanted to study cinema.
Waiting for that dream, 11 years later, a Nomad world was discovered through www.docnomads.eu, a Joint Master of Arts in Documentary Film Directing, sharing a multi-ethnical-cultural scene in Portugal, Hungary, & Belgium.
