About me

I have served in stage management from the southwest to the east coast. I am a recent college graduate with a BFA in Stage Management and a BA in Arts Management and have been working professionally since 2012. My credits come from Utah Shakespeare Festival (LORT), Gateway Playhouse (COST), STAGES St. Louis (COST), and St. Louis Shakespeare. I have had the fortune to work under highly talented and professional individuals in a variety of outlets including new works, dance, music, live events, stimulated attractions, tour, and large scale musicals.

I am not afraid to accept positions that most people do not appreciate or are unsure of handling. I enjoy the challenge and see every opportunity as one that will help me cultivate the skills necessary to succeed. In all situations, I am reliable and adaptable. When I am given a responsibility, I strive to achieve the desired result if not surpass what may be expected. I also recognize the importance of the team of people participating in a production. Every person contributes specified abilities to the success of a show. My greatest joy from working in stage management has been the chance to help coordinate all of these people, with their own unique skills, into a dynamic unit.
