Welcoming students as they begin their education at Westerdals full of curiosity and ambition is a humbling experience. These young, creative students place their trust in us as they embark on their journey. I have the opportunity to guide and mentor them over the next three years and launching them into their careers.

Being an Associate Professor at Westerdals, teaching and lecturing, is a privilege. It gives me the opportunity to share the production knowledge I’ve acquired over the years working on movies. It also allows me to develop a pedagogy that prepares students for the uncertain future that awaits them. Additionally, it gives me the chance to be surrounded daily by some of the most creative and innovative minds, both students and staff. This environment keeps me sharp and focused. It is profoundly meaningful to me.

That is why I teach.
