BIOGRAPHY
|
I graduated from Dartmouth College in 2009 with a B.A. and High Honors in Film and Media Studies. My senior year, I was a recipient of the Maurice H. Rapf Award for Outstanding Achievement in Film and Media Studies and was a Rufus Choate Scholar. Entering college, I planned on majoring in Biology or Environmental Science, and my freshman year I was a member of the Dartmouth Women in Science Program. However, during my freshman winter, after taking a course in film just for the heck of it, I remembered that I had a deep interest in something else. Since I can remember, I've loved telling stories. Before I learned how to write, I told stories through drawings. Film became the perfect place for me to combine my love for writing and art. I attended Dartmouth Film Society meetings throughout my time at college, and my senior year, I became a co-founder of the Dartmouth Organization of Filmmakers. Screenwriting, directing, and editing are my foremost film passions. Most of my work has been in the genre of fiction but I have worked with documentary, news, and experimental subject matter as well. For over 20 films in both digital video and 16mm film, I've had experience as a writer, director, editor, production assistant, production associate, archival researcher, location scout, boom mic operator, DP, 1st AC, Assistant/Co-Producer, script supervisor, 1st AD, and actress. One of the most exciting things for me is to see a story come to life. I'm always looking to give a helping hand to fellow filmmakers. I believe in the importance of being organized throughout the production process but also see the necessity to be flexible and be able to adapt to any problems that may arise while maintaining, above all, a positive attitude and a sense of humor. If I had to describe my work, it would be: "Humor, heart, and a fist-throwing good time."
