About me

A highly creative young theatre professional who builds and manages props, I am seeking to work as a production assistant or props assistant. I graduated in December 2018 with a BA in Theatre Arts and a BA in Art Studio from Mount Holyoke College.
Additional skills:
I meet with crew heads and fulfill their purchasing needs. I research materials, maintain spreadsheets, and I work directly with vendors to purchase needed materials.

My additional skills include drawing, hand building ceramics, crafts, working with various building materials, and using hand and power carpentry tools. In addition to building and painting sets, I also managed props and the prop room, organized costumes, and assisted with costume changes during performances, including caring for and attaching wigs. I've also done props carpentry, including researching, building, and managing props, working backstage, and serving as House Manager.
