Our team crafts captivating videos to accompany our course pages. I also edit videos to use for promoting these courses online and on social media. My background is in filmmaking, and I spent many years working in the advertising industry. I also love birds! I feel so grateful to be able to apply my skills to make content that I&#8217;m passionate about, and that is educational (I have already learned so much!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Growing up, I loved making movies with my friends, and this led me to pursue filmmaking in my college career. After graduating from Ithaca College I moved to the New York City area and worked in post-production for TV commercials, music videos, and films. I learned a lot about the advertising industry, and how to edit quality video content. In 2020, I moved back to Ithaca to start my family, and I also reignited my passion for birding! Spending time outside is one of my favorite things to do, and the more time I spend outside the more birds (and bird behavior) I notice. Being able to join the Bird Academy team is such a dream come true! I really enjoy editing videos for these online courses, and am excited for more folks to learn from our very talented instructors!    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Education<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>B.F.A., Film, Photography and Visual Arts, Ithaca College<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spark Moment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bobolinks nest in my backyard, and their return every spring is my favorite time of year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":20331,"parent":0,"template":"","program":[158],"project":[44],"class_list":["post-20330","staff","type-staff","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","program-engagement-science-nature","project-bird-academy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.birds.cornell.edu\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff\/20330","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.birds.cornell.edu\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/staff"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.birds.cornell.edu\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/staff"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.birds.cornell.edu\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20331"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.birds.cornell.edu\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20330"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"program","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.birds.cornell.edu\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/program?post=20330"},{"taxonomy":"project","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.birds.cornell.edu\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project?post=20330"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
