About

With a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology (Work & Organizations) and a minor in Cinematic Arts from Duke University, I am passionate about the intersection of sociology and film. As a Motion Pictures Development & Production Intern at FilmNation Entertainment, I honed my skills in analyzing submissions and pitching material. I also served as a Campus Marketing Representative for Universal Pictures, organizing advanced screenings and promoting upcoming films. Additionally, as the Head of Summer Institute of Media Studies at The Bronx High School of Science, I planned lessons and organized industry connections for students. My diverse experiences in academia, film, and marketing have equipped me with a unique blend of skills and knowledge.
