About me

I just graduated from Bard College with a B.A. in Film Production. At Bard, I studied under the guide of independent and experimental filmmakers such as So Yong Kim, Kelly Reichardt, and Peter Hutton. Under their mentorship, I learned to see editing and cinematography as, above all else, tools to explore different possibilities for artistic expression. I would very much like to be involved with cinema that engages in experimental narrative and aesthetics and plays with cinematic form to bring innovation to the medium.

Additional information:
I have been professionally editing promotional material and educational documentaries for the last three years, and would love to professionally edit narrative and documentary cinema. However, after completing my senior thesis film for Bard (a requirement for graduation), I would like to get more involved with camera/grip work, as well as work in color correction.
