A mile under the Earth's crust, inside the gold mines of South Africa, lie the deepest living animals on the planet.

That's why the global firm Today Translations is looking to hire an emoji translator, whose primary responsibilities would include translating emoji and reporting monthly on usage trends.

I started editing fiction while in grad school for film. I relied heavily on my screenwriting skills and thought a lot about beats, moments, shifts. I learned to listen for the right cuts and how to elevate good acting. I learned how to rewrite and let go of expectations. After editing an abundance of short films, I moved towards documentary. I learned that less is more. I learned the power of score and the infinite importance of the transition. Industrials, commercials, and music videos all enhanced my rhythm and pacing. I have had the pleasure of cutting for a nightly news program that combined long lead documentary style story telling with breaking news immediacy. And now I have graduated to long form non fiction. And all of it has been a wonderful ride.
