​

Yesi Rodriguez is an actor, creator, producer, writer, and storyteller -- a Jill-of-all-trades who thrives on wearing many hats. Yesi would say that 'variety is the spice of life.' She has had many talents, passions, hobbies, and interests throughout her life, and she loves that about herself. She prefers to work and play in dynamic, creative settings and has never been afraid of change. In fact, she thrives in it. 

​​

From acting and filmmaking, music and songwriting,  to reporting and promotional modeling, Yesi loves being "on" whether that be on-camera, on-set, on-stage, or mentally-on in a creative flow. Her instincts for noticing and dissecting patterns have allowed her to win awards, tap into social-media analytics, call audiences to action (resulting in successful crowd-funding, voting campaigns, and live-event attendance), and make compelling visuals whenever she has needed one. 

​

Yesi loves being creatively engaged and developing new skills. Singing along to musicals, watching anime, and cosplaying (sewing and EVA Foam prop-building included) are some of her hobbies. She loves lifting weights, practicing yoga, kayaking and playing basketball. Yesi enjoys spending time in nature, climbing trees, and going under water in pure mermaid fashion, hair flip upon surfacing included. Her favorite skillset is maintaining her childlike wonder and goofy personality.

​

She believes that the best projects come from collaboration among like-minded creatives, who care about the work and the people they work with, having fun and building meaningful relationships founded in mutual-respect and appreciation along the way.​
