Hey there, I'm Joanna!

I'm a Hispanic Filmmaker and Actress of Native and Spanish descent. I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas and now live in Los Angeles, California. My professional journey in the entertainment industry started in 2009, fueled by my deep-rooted passion for addressing the lack of diversity and inclusion in Film and TV. 

 

Drawing from my cultural upbringing, my vision is a heartfelt effort to authentically reflect the people and stories I grew up with. My career has included working on projects that have made significant strides in representation like Hulu's Prey, Paramount's 1883, and Disney's National Treasure Series.   

​

I've been able to contribute to the change I've wanted to see in front of and behind the camera by Co-Creating a female filmmaking community called Ladies Above the Line, working as a Freelance Producer, and starting a Branding and Marketing business called Materials Makeover. 

​

Join me on my cinematic journey as I continue to break barriers, celebrate diversity, and make my mark on the world of entertainment!  ​
