What were some of your activities at Duke? Community service, political campaigns, writing. |
| How has Duke influenced your
success? Duke instills an unusually high work ethic in its students and I find I have carried this with me from job to job. |
| What is
the best career advice you would give students interested in your
career field? Have a few life experiences/jobs before going to film school. Then you have a bit more to say, and burnout is less probable (film school is extraordinarily intense and competitive). |
| What do you do in your free
time? Write, volunteer for political campaigns & animal causes. |
| Where have you traveled in the
past 5 years? Russia, Finland, Estonia, Sweden, England; Duluth, Minnesota. |
