They/Them
Creative. Professional. Detail-Oriented.
I’m a professional Lighting and Rigging Technician, always looking for new challenges and opportunities. I've always been very interested in the concept of light since I was young and have been perusing that interest ever since!
Theatre has been in my mind ever since I was little; growing up in Napa, California, my eyes were constantly on theatre, especially when joining Vintage High's acting troupe. picking up an acting role in Larry Shue's The Foreigner.

Little Women
Silver Center for the Arts
The minute I laid my hands on the light board for the production of Little Women I knew exactly what I wanted to devote my efforts in the theatre world to: designing and operating lighting fixtures. This experience in theatre taught me all about lighting and in turn, was the forerunner for my love for it.
