Bio:
I am a resourceful, driven and reliable young woman with an unassailable work ethic and a great sense of humor. Educated in communities which fostered and valued strength of character and personal integrity, I have developed an ability to converse with almost anyone with humble confidence and eloquence, to write extremely well, and to approach life and others with an optimistic, yet realistic attitude and a warm and approachable demeanor.
As an employee, I am responsible, committed, very easy to work with and always open to learning and adapting. I have a knack for public relations, creative development and coordinating group efforts. I am also adept at remaining organized, detail-oriented and patient under the stresses of fast-paced, demanding environments or frequent deadlines.
I have worked on film and television sets and in a production office and am open to exploring all aspects of the film and television industries. Eventually, however, I hope to work as a production manager and ultimately as a writer-producer.
Additional extracurricular activities include: Chairman of Amherst College Program Board, resident counselor, captain of Amherst Women's Soccer team, volunteer at Amherst Senior Center, academic peer mentor, contributing writer for The Amherst Student, biological psychology tutor.
Interests include writing, bicycling, scuba diving, dancing, camping, photography and white water rafting.
