The Backstory

I majored in Italian in college, though I never had any intention to teach, translate, or otherwise professionally pursue the language after college.

I frankly didn’t know what I wanted to do upon graduation, but my small liberal arts college in Vermont had instilled in me an ethic of stewardship and giving back, and so as an Environmental Studies minor with graduation dawning, getting a job at an environmental nonprofit felt like an acceptable answer and working plan.

While majoring in Italian did not provide me with a clear, red-carpeted career path unfolding after graduation, it did offer me a great degree of flexibility: to study many things and get a true liberal arts education. As a documentary storyteller, this curiosity and comfort thinking and exploring across disciplines serves me well.
