Ask Me About
I enjoy talking about all kinds of movies, so people come to me for recommendations often! I've got some books (and comic books) in my office that we can talk about. I love sharing about my experiences working in the film industry, and giving general career advice!
ADVICE TO STUDENTS
The interview starts in the parking lot!
Favorite job as a college student
As far as non-Lifeworks jobs go, I had the opportunity to work on Spirit Halloween: the Movie and Tyler Perry's 6888 during college. I got to puppeteer a clown on Spirit and handed Kerry Washington a space heater on 6888. Both were deeply formative experiences!
Childhood career ambition
Ever since I can remember I wanted to make movies.
Favorite spot on campus
Dana 3C!
Favorite assessment tool
I love Meyers-Briggs! I'm an ENTP which is "The Debater".
Favorite quote
“Well, in this world of basic stereotyping, give a guy a big nose and some weird hair and he is capable of anything.”
― Frank Zappa
Favorite thing about working with Berry students in the cppd
I love sharing my experiences to get to where I am in my career. Lots of failure and valleys pave the way to success!
