After completing a Bachelor of Arts in Film Studies at the University of Oklahoma, she moved to New York where she worked as a Production Associate on numerous shows at Vh1. With nearly two years of big city experience under her belt, Thompson decided to move back home where she spent time working in production on various films and commercials. In 2010, Thompson produced the short film, “The Rounder Comes to Town,” which won Best Oklahoma Film later that year at the deadCenter Film Festival. In 2011, Thompson was selected to be the festival's first official Shorts Programmer.
