“MPC faculty are one-of-a-kind, capable, caring educators that curate a space for
every student no matter their goals and aspirations -- not a small task when your
demographic can range from nine to 90 years in age! With gentle encouragement I figured
out what I really wanted to pursue. I am currently working as a cinematographer in
Los Angeles.”
