ABOUT ME

私はエミリーです。はじめまして！よろしくお願いします。

I videographer, editor, and writer with a M.A. from the Ball State University Department of Media's Digital Storytelling Program. For the completion of my degree, I created a
30-minute documentary and supplementary website about the history of an Indianapolis swim club's segregated pool and the court case that forced the club to integrate.

I completed a two-year graduate assistantship at the David Owsley Museum of Art, where my role was to create video content, graphics, and advertising for the museum. I also acted as the Secretary for the Ball State student group Frog Baby Film Festival, the university's student film festival.

I received my B.A. from Ball State University in 2019 in Telecommunications with a concentration in Film and Media Studies. I also graduated with minors in both Japanese and Professional Writing in Emerging Media. During this time, I was a member of the student volunteer group Music and Memory and the campus organization Women in Tech. I was both Senior Reviews Editor and Editor-In-Chief for Byte Magazine, an online entertainment publication hosted within the Journalism Department's Unified Media Lab. 

Currently, I am the Podcast Intern for the Indiana Jewish Historical Society. I freelance as a Content Specialist at Static Media, and I write feature articles for Static Media's websites, Looper.com and SVG.com. I love writing about film and video-game-related topics. However, my favorite content to pursue is anything within the scope of horror genre news and history. Most of my academic research involves modern horror subjects, so I am deeply interested in researching and writing about the topic. I have presented research at both the PCA/ACA and MAPACA academic conferences. 

I first became interested in videography when I was in middle school and would create animated music videos using Microsoft Paint, Windows Movie Maker, and whatever music I could get my hands on. My friends and I would also shoot short scripted videos using cheap camcorders and upload them to YouTube, thinking we were absolutely hilarious. But once I got my hands on Macromedia Flash 7 and a copy of Adobe Photoshop 4 using my gifted Bat Mitzvah money, I tried my hands at more complicated animation techniques, making my own 10-minute videos and animated music videos.
 

Today, I am most interested in videography, video editing, and motion graphics. I am a fast, capable learner and am eager to use my skills to make your project the best it can be!
