About Madison
How did this program prepare you for your job?
I think it surprised people that there is room for creative types in the military. My background in film allows me the advantage of having the skills to produce media and knowing how to direct Sailors to execute visual productions.
What did you enjoy most about the program?
It’s a small program. Everyone knows everyone and collaborates with everyone. The network I developed in school did not die after we graduated. I continue to collaborate with some of my classmates to this day, and am eager to work with more of them in the future.
