E-Media Alum Shares LA Career Experience

Lisa Ripley Becker, an Electronic Media alum from UC's College-Conservatory of Music ('96), credits her UC education for helping her get started in the entertainment industry in Los Angeles, California. She currently works as a Production Coordinator on the popular Fox TV series "Bones."

As a recipient of the Paramount Pictures Media Award, Lisa was able to intern and ultimately start her career in film and TV work in Los Angeles.

Lisa has a reputation as one of the best production coordinators in the business and also stays well-connected to UC in LA, having planned a recent CCM E-Media alumni gathering. Lisa is definitely Proudly Cincinnati!
