About me

I am a scenic carpenter starting my career with a lot of enthusiasm, work ethic, and a fresh perspective. I am focused on scenic construction and design, but I am also very interested in props. I am always enthusiastic about learning new skills, both within my field and in other parts of theatre, as I believe the best kind of production person is one who understands the skills, needs and challenges of all of the other departments involved in a show.

I am currently employed at Northern Stage in White River Junction, Vermont as a scenic carpenter. I also do design work for student productions at my alma mater, Smith College.
Additional skills:
Scenic carpentry, AutoCAD 2D, hand drafting, sewing, single and double purchase counterweight fly system, stage electrics, QLab 2, Adobe Photoshop. Basic experience with stage automation, stage rigging, MIG welding, props carpentry, and model building.
