I worked to create a positive atmosphere for artists to network and collaborate. The events I organized such as chapter Shabbat, weekly coffee, and on-set assistance allowed cinematic artists to bring their visions to life while feeling connected to their community. This gave me the skills to organize events, connect artists with shared visions, and support my peers. I consider myself to be very enthusiastic and passionate about collaboration, so Fellowship Chair was a fantastic outlet for this energy. Show less
