Description:

I graduated in May from the University of Colorado, Boulder with a degree in Film Studies and English Literature. I'm currently working for the International Bicycle Film Festival in hopes of learning more about marketing and event production, as well as how film festivals are created and facilitated. My goal is to eventually produce television or film, which requires a lot of experience and knowledge about the entire production process. I'm looking for production assistant jobs to learn as much as possible about how a show or film is created both on an industrial level and smaller, independent level. I'd also like to work more in marketing and public relations, branding products and events that I'm passionate about. I'm very good at fusing my ideas with others and working collaboratively on larger projects, but I also enjoy the freedom of full creative control. I thrive when my calendar is filled to the brim, I excel in stressful situations, I enjoy self-educating, I'm a self-starter and I become deeply involved in projects that are dedicated to producing something new and different. I always exceed expectations and remain very focused and goal-oriented. I'm ready to work hard for anyone that gives me an opportunity related to film, or art direction. Working my way up from the bottom isn't a problem, but more of an exciting challenge. I know that at age 22 my goals and dreams are viable to expand, which is why I'm open to a variety of creative careers. I believe that action is the best device for learning, and thus I'm ready to work hard for anyone that will give me the opportunity.
