Summary

Hard working and passionate employee with a background in comedy and theater. I have been involved with my local youth theater since I was 5 training as an actor but also getting experience behind the scenes as a teacher, stage manager, and usher. I also make it a priority to bring joy and positivity to all the work that I do, I find this makes a huge difference for patrons and staff. I also have experience working in front of house for a catering company working countless weddings doing everything from serving and plating food to reciting entire menus and helping set up venues. However our number one priority was ensuring guest happiness and helping facilitate successful events. I am very dependable and love working and interacting with people and work best in high stress environments. I also make it a priority to bring joy and positivity to all the work that I do, I find this makes a huge difference for patrons and staff.

I now use those skills at Emerson College where I am studying as a comedic arts major with a focus in stand up and improv.
