Prior to graduating from law school, I studied Theatre at the University of Tennessee and then worked in the entertainment business in Los Angeles. These experiences, from on-set physical production to assistant to Tom Hanks at his production company, Playtone, provided me the opportunity to develop valuable skills, including a willingness to work cooperatively with a team but also independently with a goal-oriented approach. It also enhanced my ability to work effectively under pressure while being flexible with last minute changes and respectful of deadlines.In my various roles in the entertainment industry, I have proven to reliable, professional, and efficient. I successfully monitored productions as a freelance producer; developed, wrote, and edited scripts; and was pivotal in the creation of Tom Hanks' project, The Electric City. Additionally, I have been repeatedly commended for my attention to detail and solving daily production problems.
