11 things you didn’t know about me

1. WHAT DO YOU LOVE TO DO WHEN YOU'RE NOT AT WORK?

I LOVE to go to shows/concerts, as recognized by my standard issue uniform of jeans, a band t-shirt and a flannel. I also love to hit the thrift stores and estate sales.

2. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FILM?

This question is way too hard. I’ll have to give you 3 but there are more. Fight Club, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Rushmore.

3. WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE PROJECT TO WORK ON AT ELEVEN PRODUCTIONS?

I don’t have a favorite. Eleven is like a giant playground to me, everything is fun. I’ve been able to jump in on so many different projects in different roles other than just an editor and that makes all of the projects special to me.

4. IF YOU COULD EAT ONLY ONE MEAL FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Only one meal! This is going to sound gross but if I’m forced to choose then I’d have to put all of my favorite things together. My main dish would be street tacos with a side soup of Pho and a side veggie of turnip greens.

5. IF YOU WEREN'T IN PRODUCTION AND COULD DO ANYTHING, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

I honestly can’t imagine being happy doing anything except working, in some capacity, in production, but I would also love to be a stunt driver.

6. FAVORITE PLACE YOU’VE TRAVELED?

London and Costa Rica.

7. PIE OR CAKE?

Nope, give me a fudge brownie.

8. MARIO KART AVATAR?

For no good reason, I always play as Bowser.

9. IF YOU HAD A WARNING LABEL, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Warning: This individual is joyful, sharp and hyper observant. Due to this nature, side effects may include but are not limited to, complete honesty and/or genuine complements. Results may vary but standard outcomes suggest after initial shock, you’ll be fine. Choose your own dose, no prescription necessary.

10. FAVORITE SPORTS TEAM?

I’m not really into sports but I do love some roller derby (and I’m a bit biased) so I’m going to go with Birmingham’s very own roller derby team - Tragic City Rollers. GO TCR!!!

11. IF YOU HAD TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF AS AN ANIMAL, WHICH ONE WOULD IT BE?

Ferret. Cute, curious, smart, mischievous, and sometimes bites.
