I have 20 years of experience in the audiovisual industry. I started my company in Bolivia in 2005, selling outdoor LED video screens, digital signage systems, LED lighting, and providing large-format digital printing and point-of-sale promotional material manufacturing. During these years, I learned a great deal and worked with prestigious global technology brands in this field. In December 2023, we expanded all our services to the United States. In this new phase, I am collaborating on AV integration projects for clients in South America and within the country.

Hi there! I am Summer, I work as a marketing specialist for LRAV, a luxury AV company that provides audio, lighting, video, and entertainment solutions for any event. 

Avec 12 ans d’expérience dans le domaine audiovisuel, je suis monteur vidéo et réalisateur d’émissions télé. L’audiovisuel n’est pas seulement mon métier, c’est avant tout une passion qui me pousse à innover, à raconter des histoires et à donner vie aux idées. Curieux, rigoureux et créatif, je m’efforce de repousser les limites de chaque projet pour offrir un contenu original et de qualité

A University of Central Florida double-alum with a Master’s in Digital Media, I'm a content creator who loves bringing people together over shared interests. As AVIXA's Coordinator of Digital Content, I produce articles on a myriad of technology topics. I've also worked on virtual reality projects, transforming Romanian folk tales into VR narratives. 

Emily is a recent graduate of the University of North Texas with degrees in Marketing and Instrumental Performance (Clarinet). She has experience in musical theatre, pit orchestra performance, venue management, music education, and social media management. During the summer of 2025 she served as a Content Delivery Intern for AVIXA. Emily currently attends Montclair State University, pursuing a Master of Music in Woodwind Doubling (flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone).

I’m a has-been geek turned manager, turned executive, turned (hopefully) into leader.  I love technology and even more I love people.  So what I find really interesting is the intersection of people and technology…and in so many ways, that’s my definition of AV.
