About me

I have been a Production and Stage Manager for many years. I love being a manager of the arts as it allows me to combine my penchant for the dramatics with the pragmatism of my organized personality. Working over the years, I have cultivated my knowledge of technical theater and nurtured my uncanny ability to anticipate people, production, and event needs. I am able to maintain an organized spreadsheet that communicates details, guide a team responsibly and respectfully, but am not afraid to get my hands dirty at the ground level. It is my strong belief that a good leader works at all levels and maintains an open line of communication with colleagues, crews, and renters.

In addition, to being the Production Manger for a 600-seat state of the art Performing Arts Center in Alaska over the past year, managing and coordinating events and rentals for the before mentioned nonprofit fine arts camp, and after working as a Production and Stage Manager for many years at a not for profit on the Treasure Coast of Florida, I decided to sharpen my technical skills, and accepted a position as a technical theater intern. This position gave me the opportunity to wire instruments, program lighting and sound boards, build sets, and learn all the intricacies of a production, 8 hours a day, 6 days a week for 5 months. It was like a manager reboot. I was able to develop my management techniques and honed valuable insight on not only key technical skills but solid leadership qualities.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Theatre Arts, and at this point in my career I am looking for a venue that is both welcoming and challenging, and located in the lower 48. I believe your organization presents the precise challenge I am seeking, giving me the opportunity to grow and explore in a fast paced setting, while brining my creativity and organization skills to the arts community.
Additional skills:
Jack of all trades - I have some sound and light board programming experience; can focus lights; wire a stage for a live band; advance show details to prepare for stage crews; hospitality coordination experience; Stage Management experience (can call a show, document blocking, etc.); Set construction and painting effects
