Top played song on your playlist?:
This is the hardest question of them all. I usually switch up my music depending on my mood. The album I have listened to the most the past week is Seu Jorge - The Life Aquatic: A tribute to David Bowie.
Where has your CI degree taken you?:
I have worked on numerous TV shows such as ESPN, Rizzoli and Isles, Claws, and much more.
What is your favorite thing about your job?:
I get to work with passionate people that love working and watching TV/ movies. Since I work in post-production, I get to see the entire process of the show from pre-production to air.
What¹s the most valuable thing you learned in CI?:
Take advantage of the classes and go the extra mile to work on projects outside of school.
What advice would you give to current CI students?:
Don't be afraid to go after your dreams. I moved to LA without a job and only knew 2 people. I worked at a country club in order to pay my rent while looking for a job. After about two months I found my first gig in television. You really need to learn how to network out here. Getting your foot in the door is the hardest part.
