Work Experience
Technical Producer
Vittles Films
April 2026 - Present
At Vittles Films, I am responsible for coordinating details on live shows, including staff communications, budget, inventory, venue, and funder relations. During "development" periods, I am responsible for research (often academic research for nonfiction films) and audience impact planning. My role changes depending on each projects' stage of development. Currently, I am the sole developer on an audience impact interaction software tool called the Southern Culinary Atlas. Developed with AI tools ("vibecoding") it will use GIS mapping, citizen science, and wikipedia-style submissions to weave together a public-facing, living archive of oral history and culinary research.
Freelancer
Freelance (Self employed)
April 2026 - Present
In addition to freelance tutoring, I also periodically consult on systems organization and documentary editing on a case-by-case basis when I am referred via my past work as a producer at indie documentary and dance companies.
Co-Lead
South-North Scholars
February 2023 - May 2025
At South-North Scholars, I used skills in international networking, project management, and high-level academic thinking to establish and run programs for hundreds of youth from dozens of countries. A small team of 4 accomplished multiple incredible feats over our years together, excecuting (1), a multi-national case competition with UN collaboration and publication, pairing young people in researching the world's toughest problems, (2) a speaker series with heads of regional banks to (3) a round table with the UN Development Programme, and last but not least, (4) a selective mentorship and professional development program for youth in international development.
Education
Duke University
Bachelor's Degree, International Development Policy
2022 - 2026
I graduated with High Distinction from Duke University with a 3.7 GPA for a self-designed graduate-level curriculum. Notably, I successfully proposed, developed, and taught an undergraduate critical theory seminar. I worked at the Duke Center for International Development to bridge the gap between undergraduates and graduates through a series of research communication writing workshops, and through speaker series, drawing speakers from major International Governmental Organizations. I worked at the Center for Documentary Studies and worked as a producer on two non-student films. Finally, I ran the university's swing dance club for 3 years, producing performances and teaching over 100 classes to varying audiences.
