Bio

"To enjoy the journey is to leap into people's lives. To enjoy the journey is to give until the stretch is a sacrifice. The question always is: what is it in life that will pull you out of your seat to be brave, risk, and serve."

My passion for theatre and live events has pulled me out of my seat! It motivated me since an early age. My personal journey is an inspiring experience that keeps me moving toward a greater path.  I enjoy being a part of making memories for others. 

I established a wide-range of knowledge starting from the bottom working endlessly toward the top. I started with the day to day grind of technical backstage work and moved my way up to Stage Management, Technical Director, and Production Management. 

My professional experience comes from festivals, producing and presenting theatres. I have a copious background in theatrical production, leadership skills, budgeting, directing, operations, strategic planning, health & safety codes, maintaining excellent vendor relationships, and project management. I will never stop learning and developing my skills as a Leader. I love this industry and the people involved in making it the best it can be.
