Objective
PHILADELPHIA’S NEXT GREAT THEATRICAL PANTOLOGIST
While earning my B.A. in psychology and English, I received four years of hands-on training in several aspects of theatre at Bryn Mawr College. From directing and stage managing, to acting and choreographing, to dramaturgy and publicity, to scenic and prop development, I inherited an irrevocable love for the performing arts industry across its wide array of offices. Since graduating in May 2019, I continue to seek opportunities in the Philadelphia area to put my passion for lighting, theatre technology, and all aspects of production to use for organizations and works that aspire to educate, illuminate, and invigorate our community.
