Emily is excited to join to the CINE department as the new Administrative Assistant! A recent graduate of the program, she found her niche in the production office where she can print papers and organize the Google Drive to her heart’s content. Pride & Prejudice is her all-time favorite movie, and she will happily debate whether the 2005 feature or 1995 TV series is better. She can talk about period dramas for hours but can find another topic if that really bores you. Her favorite part of working at the front desk is the new candy poll every week. Please stop by and say hello!
