Chinisha Scott is an Emmy-nominated, award-winning, multi-hyphenate creator with nearly 20 years of experience in film, TV, and media production. She is passionate about music, science, environmental and social justice, and learning – they find their way into all that she creates.

She began her musical training at the age of nine and continued through grad school, with a brief stint as an engineering major in her freshman year of college. (She had Mae Jemison dreams of becoming an astronaut – here’s hoping they need filmmakers in space). Currently, her handiwork can be seen as a Segment Director at The Daily Show (Comedy Central).

Chinisha is a certified Prince super-fam, nerdy geek-girl, and cheerful nihilist with a penchant for witty, sometimes self-deprecating humor. She attended The New School, where she received her MA in Media Studies and a BA in Cinema Studies with a minor in African-American Studies from the CUNY Macaulay Honors College, cum laude.
