P R O F I L E
Self-motivated and creative Senior Commercial Editor who feels equally comfortable collaborating with a large creative team or functioning as an editorial island, cutting solo for the bulk of a project. I'm also fast. Which is a huge asset when deadlines are tight (because when aren't they?). I'm also a passionate quoter of 80's movies and host an award-winning film-review podcast called, The Film with Three Brains with two of my oldest childhood friends. I like to create stuff... even if it's just building a picnic table from scratch.

Bachelor of Arts: Radio/TV/Film, English, & Theater, University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh
Oshkosh, WI
Graduated with three majors: Radio/TV/Film, Theater and English. I was an undergrad for 11 semesters (and 3 credits short of an Art Minor). No, I don't have a Masters. My Radio/TV/Film emphasis was Film, my English emphasis was Writing and my Theater emphasis was Acting. I was in the cast of one play in college, Approaching Zanzibar. I played two different characters, poorly.
