Knowledge is an Acquired Taste

About Me


I am a Wisconsin native who grew up near Madison. I've aspired to be a filmmaker my entire life, with concentration in the editing field (my pie-in-the-sky dream job is to work in sports editing for ESPN or the NFL). In May, I graduated with a BFA in Film from the University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee. I am currently employed as a freelance editor and production assistant, working mostly with Moondance Video . I worked as an intern for 371 Productions over a two-semester period and was credited on the film "Almost Home," which aired nationally on PBS. Last year I co-created a documentary called "Feminista," which aired on Wisconsin Public Television in April. Other experience includes work with various commercials, MATA Community Media , and Marx Creative .

And I Was Worried
