My Assistant

Kathryn Jennex joins me as an assistant / intern, tasked with helping me with some of my simpler communications needs (like adding people to the Rockstars list, making sure I’m responding in a timely fashion to commitments, etc.). I’ll still answer my direct communications, but Kathryn will help with the other mechanics. Here’s her brief bio:

I come from an academic background in Public Relations, Sociology and Women Studies and a work background ranging from counseling street youth, involvement with the film industry to logistics in remote exploration camps in the North. I have a strong background in all types of production/coordination.

I am first and foremost a people person and interested in all ways people communicate and create community. I recently became Project Manger for an online website for filmmakers and have become fascinated with the world of social media and all that entails. I’m excited and proud to be working with Chris and look forward to lots of learning, collaborating, and becoming part of the social media community.
