After a long career as an environmental consultant in San Francisco, Denise moved on to Santa Fe where she pursued her interest in video editing at the SFCC Film Department.  Since then, she has worked as Script Supervisor for a local short feature; as an on-location Assistant Editor for a feature production; and, over several years, as Assistant Editor/Associate Producer for a locally produced feature documentary about the legendary African filmmaker Ousmane Sembene which premiered at Sundance January 2015.

She is delighted to join such experienced hands as Dyanna Taylor and David Leach in their mission to bring to life the story of Dorothea Lange.
