Summary

Beginning in high school as a electrician and carpenter, I found my passion for designing scenery. I learned to build and paint while leading other students to do the same. Leading by example and with organized and thorough paperwork was very efficient and created a positive workplace environment. I am now attending MGSA in NJ to study scenic design from amazing teachers and mentors.
