☆ I have been in theater since I was six years old, getting into stage management around five years ago. I stage managed my first show in high school, and proceeded to get extremely involved in Stage Management in college. I have taken every Stage management class offered to me, and have worked on a total of 6 of the 10 productions that have taken place since I got here! I found my passion for stage management in the details, as I have always loved creating and organizing, but never knew there was a place for this in the industry I have known and loved for so long.
☆ While pursuing my degree, I am also the First Vice President of our National Theater Honor Society, Alpha Psi Omega, as well as an ambassador for the Theater Department within the College of Liberal Arts through the University. I love having the ability to share the theater with others and introducing them to the joy of our industry!
☆ While I tend to focus in stage management, I also have extensive experience on stage and in audio. I have been performing since the age of 6, and working with/as the sound designer(s) for 8 years now. I love every aspect of the theater that I can be involved in and I am always willing to learn new things and grow any skills that I may or may not already have.
☆ I had the opportunity to work professionally at Shenandoah Summer Music Theater my first summer of college, after my freshman year, as an Audio Assistant. I enjoyed my experience so much, I then went back and worked with the same company the summer after my sophomore year as an Assistant Stage Manager/Run Crew.
☆ I am currently, and have been for the last year, employed at our local theater, The Gertrude C Ford Center for the Performing Arts. Through this, I have had the experience to work multiple national tour productions with Audio and Electrics teams. I also work regularly with them to maintain the theater spaces and set up for other university events, creating great experience for myself to learn and grow in this industry.
