Name your three favorite movies:  
JURASSIC PARK, TERMINATOR 2: JUDGEMENT DAY and THE BIRDCAGE

What is your proudest achievement while working at Imageworks? 
Working my way up from Production Assistant fresh out of University to Digital Producer here at Imageworks. Oh, and working with a small independent artist named Britney Spears on her music video for THE SMURFS 2. No big deal! 

What inspired you to become involved in making movies?
I remember seeing JURASSIC PARK for the first time in 1993 and thinking to myself 'I want to make dinosaurs come to life'. Once I was in University, it was clear to me that my passion was still in Digital Media and Animation, and that working in the film industry was a goal I was determined to achieve. Ironically enough,  I even wrote my Senior University Thesis about the VFX technology and its usage in film, and even gave Imageworks a shout out before I even knew I would be working there! It was clearly destined to be.
