I graduated Magna Cum Laude from San Diego State University in 2009 with a bachelor's degree in Television, Film, and New Media Production. While there, I produced eight films (16mm, 35mm, and digital), wrote several scripts, managed a 60 person crew for a one-hour television pilot, and studied abroad in Singapore at Nanyang Technological University.
