Education & Professional History

B.A. magna cum laude, 2001, University of Minnesota. Anthropology.

I manage and help provide support of classroom technology at Carleton, with an emphasis on planning and project management. I also manage technology in Weitz Cinema and maintain the online orientation for cinema projectionists I created.

One of my own works, “Quotes,” has been on display in Weitz Commons since 2012. I’m always happy to discuss media, technology, and the arts.

Highlights & Recent Activity

I created and taught sequence of editing with Final Cut Pro classes at Independent Filmmaker Project-Minnesota (now Film North) 2001–2012.

My work as a filmmaker has been seen on Twin Cities Public Television (tpt), at the Walker Art Center and Minneapolis Institute of Art, as well as at Minneapolis/St Paul International Film Festival, and other festivals.
