Dakota Reinike
Senior editor
Originally a native of New Paltz, New York, Dakota fell in love with television development while pursuing her bachelor’s degree in television/film at DeSales University. She completed an internship with ASR Media as a production intern and was thrilled to officially join the team following her graduation in May 2018. Dakota has received four Mid-Atlantic Regional Emmy® nominations for her work with Tails of Valor, Mikayla's Voice, St. Luke's University Health Network, and United Way of the Greater Lehigh Valley.
Dakota loves to be involved in the screenwriting community. She was recently accepted to be a script reader for the Austin Film Festival in 2025, has served as a Jury Member for the New York International Screenplay Awards (NYISA) since 2018, and was an active member of the Atlanta Film Festival's Screenplay Reading Committee in 2020.
Beyond screenwriting, she also enjoys collaborating with local writers by attending weekly writer cafe sessions through The Greater Lehigh Valley Writer's Group. She is also currently involved with Cancer Support Community of The Greater Lehigh Valley's Wings of Hope event planning committee as well as their Ambassadors of Hope program.
When she’s not editing or writing, Dakota loves to spend time with friends, interact with any kind of animal, and sing while playing her piano.
