ABOUT

Programs are led by a licensed New Jersey Audio / Visual teacher with a background in professional broadcasting, an Emmy nomination, and years of hands-on mentoring experience. After graduating from NYU at 19 at the top of her class, she began working - and continues to work - at one of the largest broadcast companies in the country. Over the years, she has supported dozens of middle school, high school, and college students as they explore and pursue creative careers. She has also trained and managed editing interns in professional environments, guiding them through technical workflows, workplace readiness, creative decision-making, and the realities of production in the field.

In addition to our core team, we provide access to a broad network of working professionals, university faculty, and industry experts with whom students can connect for advice, perspective, or further guidance, whether to explore career options or simply understand what a creative path looks like.

1:1 MENTORSHIP, TUTORING, AND CAREER SUPPORT

  • Students (grades 5–12), young adults, and older adults - anyone interested in learning the ins and outs of pre and post-production, whether for school, personal content, or social media. We also offer accessible, age-appropriate tech and media instruction for seniors, covering everything from phone basics to digital storytelling.

  • We provide hands-on digital media sessions that are educational, creative, and adapted to the learner’s age and goals. Instruction blends technical skill-building with storytelling, communication, and digital literacy.

    Individual Tutoring

    Private sessions, booked as needed or on a weekly basis. Ideal for students who benefit from personalized instruction, targeted feedback, or ongoing mentorship.

    Small Group Instruction

    Available in-person (local to Bergen County, NJ). Perfect for 2–5 students learning together, such as siblings, friends, or classmates working on similar projects or themes.

    In-Home Group Learning

    Something more personal than a class, but more structured than babysitting. We offer creative editing sessions for small groups of friends, siblings, or neighbors, hosted in your own home, at your own pace.

    Whether you’re organizing a summer activity, after-school enrichment, or just a creative alternative to screen time, we’ll bring everything needed to guide your group through hands-on, age-appropriate projects.

    Summer Intensives

    Our summer sessions are structured as multi-day workshops with clear goals and creative output. Sessions can be 2–3 hours daily, held over several consecutive days, and customized for families, small groups, or community hubs.

1:1 OR GROUP CREATIVE ACADEMIC TUTORING

  • High school juniors / seniors, college students, or early-career creatives.

  • This support spans portfolio development, college application coaching, career preparation, and realistic redirection when a student no longer feels drawn to a creative field or decides it may not be the right path. We help students pause, reassess, explore alternatives, and build a personalized plan forward, grounded in real-world insight and practical options.

    • Portfolio development

    • College application support (personal statements, creative supplements, major selection)

    • LinkedIn setup and job search strategy

    • Creative career mentorship (roles in media, design, production, content strategy)
