Hello, and thank you for visiting my website!  I am a Theatrical Technician specializing in Electrics and Projections, and am currently under contract as Electrics Shop Manager at Actors Theatre of Louisville in Louisville, KY.

​

I first cultivated an interest in the performing arts at DeForest High School in DeForest, Wisconsin. The summer after my senior year, I landed my first job as an Audio-Video Technician for the local Parks and Recreation Department, and by then had also acted, directed, and stage-managed for school and community plays.

 

My experience with theatre technology began in earnest during my studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where I worked with students in the Johnny Carson School of Theatre and Film on several productions as a Projections Designer, Master Electrician, and Lighting Designer.  I also worked with several community and childrens' theatres on a freelance basis in a variety of roles. In 2014, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree with majors in Economics and Philosophy and a Minor in Theatre.

​

After graduating, I continued refining my skills as a Projections Designer in the community theatre scene in Madison, Wisconsin before being offered a touring position with Sesame Street Live: Make A New Friend. After a year and a half with VStar Entertainment, I left to work at Royal Caribbean Entertainment's rehearsal facility for five months before accepting a position at Actors Theatre of Lousiville for their 2017-2018 season. Over the years, I have also worked as a freelance Audio/Video and Theatrical Technician in Wisconsin, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Florida.

​

Outside of the theatre world, I have worked in management, professional, and educational fields, honing skills in leadership, written and verbal communication, project planning, time management, and budgeting. I can readily spot trends, work diligently toward goals, and innovate with an understanding of broader context, which has made me an invaluable employee.

​

My love of live theatre has been encouraged and supported by friends, family, and mentors for my entire life.  I hope that as time goes by I can continue to give back through teaching, inspiring, and collaborating with others who want to pursue theatre as a passion or as a career.
