B.A. 1997
I was born an raised in Lafayette, IN. I attended Lafayette Jefferson High School and Purdue. In college I double-majored in Interdisciplinary Film and Telecommunications with a minor in English. I really knew no one in the business and after graduation I was unemployed in my area of study for one year. I kept applying to positions in Chicago and finally got hired at a place called Cinema Video / Network Century, Inc. I started here as a post assistant. Later I moved up to assistant editor. I also ran the gamut of production positions as well: script supervisor, make-up, and craft service. So that was great experience. I then got hired at Post Effects as an assistant editor and got to work under Emmy award winning editors. At this job I was able to become much more polished. If you work at a place like Post Effects you can figure out any other place and have a much lower learning curve coming in on the equipment at another place.

Currently I am at Harpo Studios working on the Oprah Winfrey Show as a freelancer in the editorial department. The editorial staff just received Emmys for the 2004-2005 season. In addition to the work I do at Harpo I have started my own corporation and copyrighted treatments for up to 15 shows which I plan on producing. I am also a member of the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) and the Chicago/Midwest Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
