About me

I am an early-career Theatre Producer and Stage Manager with international work experience. I am currently in London pursuing my M.A. in Creative Producing at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (exp. graduation Fall 2022). I hope to pursue both producing and stage management in my career and cannot wait to further develop my skills and continue traveling the world.

After moving to Los Angeles to pursue my B.A. at UCLA and begin a career in film, I rediscovered my love for theater and have altered my career path to focus on that passion. I was an Artistic Director and Executive Producer for HOOLIGAN Theatre Company at UCLA for two years, which ignited my passion for producing and reminded me how much I love theater, particularly musical theater, and the power music and storytelling have over an audience.

In March 2020, I graduated as an English major and Film/Theater double minor cum laude. Amid the pandemic, I spent much of 2021 in New York City as an Assistant Stage Manager with Hudson Classical Theater Company, and interning with Jean Doumanian Productions and Abrons Art Center. I also spent part of my COVID-19 induced Gap Year working remotely as an Administrative Assistant at the Los Angeles Women’s Theatre Festival and as one of the Artistic Directors of the Virtual Theatre Collaboration. I am also a Producer/Board Treasurer with City Lighthouse Theatre Company, which just performed Concha at the Oregon Fringe Festival 2021 and had a successful run of The Sun Will Rise at The Etcetera Theatre in Camden, London. My additional work experience includes a Company Management internship with New York Stage and Film, and two stints at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

I am always eager to contribute to team success through hard work, attention to detail and excellent organizational skills. I have outstanding leadership and problem-solving skills and thrive in a high-stress environment. I am always motivated to learn at every opportunity! I hope to continue growing both professionally and personally with every position I take and hope that my career allows me to travel the world, particularly with touring.
