about

I'm a Chicago-based Assistant Editor and aspiring Editor. Also do Data Wrangling and some lower level DIT and am decent at color correction.
I love any movie/show that makes me laugh or happy cry. Earnestness over sarcasm*. Think sports movies, the early work of Cameron Crowe, and YouTube videos of everyday people overcoming obstacles. Cheesy romcoms are the closest thing I have to a guilty pleasure, though I don't think anyone should be ashamed of the things that bring joy to our lives. Other favorite genres are music docs, sci fi, and comedy in all forms.
Mr. Rogers is my idol. That probably sums up all you need to know about me.
Just graduated in June 2018 with an MS in Digital Cinema from DePaul University, concentrating in Post-Production.
Prior school: Certificate in Film Production Technology, Valencia College, 2015
Bachelor of Liberal Studies, University of Iowa 2011
Additional training which sometimes comes in handy: Martha Beck Life Coach Training Academy, 2011
*Not that I can't be as sarcastic as the next person. Love me some Deadpool. I do believe that it's sometimes used as a shortcut to real character development or storytelling, though.

Feel free to check out the Facebook page I maintain just for fun. Nothing to do with editing, but it's inspired by the movie Almost Famous and will give you an extra bit of insight into who I am.
