I am a highly motivated recent graduate from Catholic University in DC, seeking employment in the filmmaking field. I have a passion for telling meaningful stories through film, and have media production and editing experience from the media production track I took in college. For my media senior thesis, I made a short documentary film called "Paranoidist" which emphasizes the importance of relying on a community of friends during the stress of college. I have experience in an office setting, academic library setting, at archaeological sites, in the state court system, in guest services at a major movie theater chain, as well as at a major frozen treat franchise. I play a key role in ensuring the success and continuous improvement of the organizations I work for, collaborating as part of a team and serving others. I have project management, volunteer management, event planning, and community organizing skills which I have demonstrated through my various roles. I know that the filmmaking industry is where I want to be, and I am eager to start working in any way I can.
