What does your job entail?
I’m the video producer at CC, which means I portray CC stories and experiences through video with a team of student interns.
Where did you work before CC and what were you doing?
I lived in Chicago for many years, shooting, editing, and crewing on narrative and documentary films. I was the director of photography and editor for a political media company and the video producer at Lincoln Park Zoo. I also have experience in community media, most recently teaching at After School Matters in Chicago.
Tell us a little about your background.
I’m originally from Oakland, California, and have a B.A. in cognitive psychology from Barnard College and an MFA in film and media arts from Temple University. Some of my film influences include Chantal Akerman, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Lucrecia Martel, and Jan Švankmajer. My short films have screened both nationally and internationally at festivals, conferences, and in curricula.
What do you like to do when not working?
When not at CC, I enjoy exploring new places, hiking, taking care of plants, celebrating, thinking about learning to draw, and eating the amazing food that my partner cooks.
Wild card: When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
As a kid, I wanted to be a vet, but the death and neutering would not have worked for me.
