CBS Sports Soccer (Golazo Network)
Sound-full Montage/element I produced for Borussia Dortmund’s unlikely run to the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League semifinals (they ended up advancing to the final and losing to Real Madrid). I am really proud of this one because the UCL is the most-watched annual sporting event in the world, and Dortmund is an amazing club with a passionate, blue collar fanbase. Also shoutout to my fellow Argentinian-American Gio Reyna, plus other Americans who have shined at Dortmund: Christian Pulisic, Cole Campbell & of course, the great Jovan Kirovski. Die Schwarzgelben~
An entire segment I produced (& specifically curated all the elements for) for USMNT legend & U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame inductee, GK Tony Meola (who I strongly urged CBS to bring on as an on-air analyst because of my time working with him daily on SiriusXM). Here, Tony breaks down some of his top Goalkeepers in the history of world soccer from some top European nations. I absolutely love historical bits like this, and it was a pleasure and an honor to do this with an icon of the world’s game like Tony (many may remember him from the 1994 FIFA World Cup).
Top 10 Goals (Golazos) from the EFL Championship 2023-24 season (I produced & edited this entire segment that runs as evergreen content on the channel)

I produced this entire pregame interview with translations/subtitles for Eduardo Pérez, who talked to Boston Red Sox star 3B Rafael Devers before the 8/4/2022 Yankees-Red Sox game on Sunday Night Baseball (we aired it in-game). I am extremely proud of this one as it showcases my bilingual capabilities and how useful they can be in broadcast journalism/storytelling.

Man City vs. Chelsea UCL Final Highlight I produced specifically for Scott Van Pelt’s SportsCenter.

A fun, little puppet show I worked on. I got to help be one of the puppets, I'm in the scene with the other interns, and I PA'd, contributing to putting this together in post on Avid. Thought it would be a fun one to showcase what I did during my internship. Shot by Tyler Horvit and Rob Carbuccia Produced by Brooke Schneider
Another promo we made for our Jets All-Access training show in July 2017. PA’d for this, contributed by logging/transcribing all interviews and organizing b-roll that was then cut for all the promos, teases and full shows. Also provided some input on shoots and what shots we’d use. Was fortunate enough to have sat in on project meetings and the final edit for this show.
