My time with GVL Entertainment taught me basic technical skills in audio and lighting along with helping me practice executing given instructions from my mentor. For multiple events that lasted 5 hours each, I was part of a team that set up and tore down lighting and audio systems.

Through this I practiced my skills in communication and attentiveness. In Vacation Bible School, I spent a week for 3 different years collaborating with families. Team Leaders were required to work with a small group of children and chaperone them to each station on the church property.

Working as a theater technician helped me develop my skills while actively communicating, collaborating, organizing, and working under pressure. My high school put on a musical production for The Addams Family, where I worked with a team backstage to move pieces across set during intervals. I also collaborated with my team using an intercommunication headset, to help the efficiency of the crew.
