Tell me about your current career/job.
As of this writing, I am the Media Manager for Relentless, Inc. – a film and digital media company. We create commercials and digital content for clients such as Case IH, Nike, and the Make-a-Wish Foundation.
Aside from being responsible for all of our client’s digital assets, my daily activities include writing, cinematography, video editing, digital graphics, and various aspects of social media. I get to travel, play with new technology, and collaborate with other creatives.
How did your CTC training prepare you for your career?
From day one, I received practical training on the same types of techniques and equipment that I now use in the field every day. My experience at the CTC has allowed me to be a knowledgeable and adaptable asset through all stages of production.
Did you further your education after leaving CTC?
Though I didn’t pursue any formal education beyond my time at the CTC, I continue to learn every day through research and experience. I work in a highly technical field, so it’s important to be a lifelong student.
