CJES MEDIA
Who am I?
I am just a kid with a camera who is passionate about playing soccer, experiencing new places, and meeting new people. Currently, I play soccer and study communications and media technologies at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Born and raised in the Peninsula I am a Bay Area native, through and through, but I have also lived in Zaragoza, Spain, and Ithaca, New York.
​
As of now, I am looking for new opportunities to learn and experience as much as possible. My inspiration for my content is the unwavering passion I have for soccer as well as seeing as much of the world as possible. In my life, I have been blessed with the opportunity to travel all over the world to play soccer. I plan to continue chasing the game for as long as I can, either playing or teaching while documenting my journey.

Work Experience
January 2022 - January 2023
June 2021 - Current
September 2021 - May 2022
All of last year I worked as a Red Bull Student Marketeer. The job included on-campus marketing of the brand. In addition, I did sales support throughout San Francisco, promoting the drink's visibility in bars and restaurants. This was an excellent opportunity for me to grow my professional network and gain experience in sales and marketing.
Having coached for 5 years now, my most recent coaching positions are for SF Aftershocks and Technical Advanced Soccer Kinetics (TASK). Aftershocks is an all-girls youth soccer club in San Francisco. I train multiple teams within the age range of 10 to 14 years old. TASK is a private training company that provides supplemental training to club soccer players. In addition to coaching for TASK I am also managing all their social media pages, and creating soccer related content for the company.
This fall I started working with the marketing team for Secret Six, a game development studio based in Manila, Philippines. Currently, we are preparing for the launch of our first game, "Project Xandata".
