Summary
As a DIY musician, I have been doing graphic design, event planning, and film editing for a number of years. I've planned and successfully executed several events including ResiFest!, benefit concerts, themed shows, speaker events and more, working with several other companies to collaborate and create a wonderful experience for guests.
I have also performed in several theater productions over the years and am quite theatrical during my performances with my band, Imber Solis, so to be a pivotal member of perpetuating the education of the performing arts would be an honor for me.
The position being part time (and I'm assuming mostly remote?) would be perfect for me personally as I just left my job at the hospital to really focus in on my creative career and create a better work/life balance for myself and my family.
I am more than confident in my ability to provide excellent results for Denison University!
