OBJECTIVE
To work as a Production Assistant for a high standard operation.
I recently graduated from UC Davis. Although being a biochemistry student there, my main ambitions lied in filmmaking in which I worked diligently. I have helped on over 30 student shorts and during summers I subleased apartments in LA to work film internships as well as to be a P.A. on Forest Whittaker’s FIRST DAUGHTER. If hired, I will be a very reliable and cheerful addition to your team. Thanks for your consideration.
