Summary

In 2020, I graduated from the Rochester Institute of Technology with a BFA in Film and Animation with a focus on documentary film production. In 2021, I started working in the ABC News’ Media Library as a Media Resources Assistant. In the ABC News’ Media Library, I work onsite to ingest and archive footage into their proprietary archive software and work with producers for all of their research needs. This is were I fell in love with archiving and researching. What I do makes sure that people are able to access records for years to come, and I take great pride in my work.
