Nathania Oh

Nathania Oh is a veteran of the entertainment industry with more than two decades of experience in production, brand storytelling and creative leadership. She has worked across major media companies including Sony Pictures Entertainment, HBO and Cartoon Network/[Adult Swim], and brings a real-world perspective into the classroom.
 
Originally from the Cayman Islands, Oh started out on camera as a music video show host before shifting behind the scenes — a path that gave her a strong feel for both performance and craft, and for what it really takes to make a story land. 
 
At Dodge, she teaches introduction to screenwriting, short scripts and TV writing, helping students build strong fundamentals in structure, character and dialogue while also developing a voice that feels honest and specific. Her leadership in the classroom is rooted in the belief that passion and authenticity are essential to lasting impact. She teaches her students that humor coupled with candor is the secret to compelling storytelling — and that these same tools are just as vital as they navigate the world of film and television. Known for wry humor, warmth and direct notes (the helpful kind), she creates an environment where students can take smart risks, revise with purpose, and learn how to collaborate without losing their point of view. She also serves as a faculty senator, advocating for a strong academic community and a creative culture where students are supported, challenged and ready for what comes next.
 
Oh holds a B.A. in Telecommunications from Pepperdine University and an M.F.A. in Nonfiction and Screenwriting from the University of California, Riverside.
