CHELSEA- ANN JONES

Summary
Hardworking and versatile individual with experience in different settings. Most recently have been a theater educator, where I taught students the fundamentals of theatre techniques, directed school productions, and practiced smart classroom management. An Artist by nature, I have been apart of successful productions regionally and recently Off-Broadway, where I've gained skills in collaborative work, professionalism, and knowledge of the entertainment industry. I've also honed organizational and leadership skills as an Administrative Assistant and Substitute Teacher. All of these positions have helped mold me into a well rounded worker- granting me mastery over working in both team-based and independent capacities. Brings a strong work ethic, professionalism, communication, and excellent organizational skills to any setting. Excited to begin a new challenge with a successful team.
