Circle Leader
Estefania Franco
My deep passion for cinema has been the driving force behind my seven-year career in the animation industry. Beyond my professional roles, I love dedicating time to personal projects that allow me to explore new creative avenues. My journey recently led me to Canada for work, where I’ve transitioned into an Associate Department Manager position. It’s an exciting path where I get to blend my love for filmmaking with new leadership challenges.
