1. Tell us about your journey since graduation.
Ever since graduating I have been pursuing a career as Producer
in the film industry. Months after graduation I was able to work with
fellow alumna, Joel Potrykus, and I began working as a Producer with
Ingalls Pictures. Along with my work at Ingalls Pictures I have
produced two feature films, dozens of commercial videos, and even some
music videos. I have been able to speak at and attend networking
events and film festivals. Along with these accomplishments, I have
more projects in the development stages for future years to come.
2. Share a favorite Grand Valley memory.
One of my fondest memories at Grand Valley is working on my first
short film as the Producer. I had no idea what I was doing yet I felt
so empowered as a filmmaker. I ended up making friends that are still
a part of my life and my film crews!
3. What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
The best piece of advice I have ever received is from a fellow
producer, Laura Burnell. She explained that (technically) a lot of
people can do the job of a Producer, but they cannot be you. So put
yourself into the way you work and be the type of Producer that YOU
want to be. This really helped me focus on my own professional growth
and become my own version of a Producer.
4. List three words you would use to describe your Grand
Valley experience.
Informative, social, and demanding.
5. What difference would you like to make in the world?
As I gain experience I aim to have more control over the films
and projects I choose to take on. I want to focus on issues around the
world and bring more representation to marginalized individuals. I
believe through telling their stories, we can inform and educate
individuals around the world. Even a small change can make an impact!
