Summary
I am a hard working, energetic and highly motivated graduate of Columbia College Chicago, eager for the opportunity to
contribute to an organization and to demonstrate my value while gaining skills and experience. After spending a year
traveling abroad, I am currently working off my student loans while looking to start my career. In my time as a film directing
major (having personally directed over a dozen films), I have gained experience in hiring and managing a large group of
people, managing a budget, finding creative solutions to real world problems and working diligently and productively for long
hours. I am also experienced in writing, having written a number of film scripts and worked as a critic for a movie website,
and have been quoted in the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times (online edition) for my Oscar analysis.
