A Digital Native Speaks
I consider myself a “capturist.” Whether it is through photography or videography, I love to capture the moments and stories of the people around me for world-viewing.
I am Lizette Terry, C'2017, a comparative women’s studies major and writing minor with a concentration in mass media. As a digital native, I am an uncompromising advocate and driver of the millennial media revolution who aspires to diversify story telling for marginalized groups everywhere.
I seek to define a career in television production allowing me to expand my knowledge of pre and post production while eventually creating a production that mirrors social activism and caters inspiration.
I plan to work in television production where I intend to learn all aspects of pre and post production work in order to build and expand my knowledge of the industry. My ultimate goal is to create a production company of my own that mirrors social activism, shatters glass ceilings, disrupts the status quo and exudes inspiration.
