I do work hard!

Work

I have worked various jobs in my life, from a cashier at a bakery, to hacking trails in Point Reyes National Seashore Park with the Youth Conservation Corps, but my "career" as such is in nonprofit organizations in one admin role or another working on a computer. My whole family is in the film industry but I took my own path, which was refreshing and different. I love having photography as my creative outlet and am pursuing this further with exhibitions and publications.

 

In what feels like my previous life, I found a path in the nonpprofit sector. My last job was working for the Internet Archive, which is dedicated to providing Universal Access to all Knowledge. Just a small goal really. My job before the Archive was with FACT Services Co., a foundation dedicated to improving social justice in the United States and in France. For three and a bit years before FACT, I worked for Project Fit America, a nonprofit charity dedicated to getting American kids fit. Nonprofit work is usually stressful, but also very rewarding. You do a lot of work, on a limited budget (both money and time), but the work you do counts for something and improves people's lives, even if indirectly. I like being able to sleep at night and having a clear conscience, and this line of work seems to make that happen rather easily.
