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.
Interpreted scenic build drawings to create scenery and paint scenery for multiple venues.
Gained proficiency working with hand tools, power tools, electric saws, pneumatic tools, and other specialty tools to create and install scenery. Learned to work in a fast paced environment, read scenic drafting, and basic painting methods. As of Sept. 2024 I work seasonally when I'm home from school.
Designed and drafted scenery for students to work from, simplicity and communication were essential. Shows include: Little Women, and The Drowsy Chaperone.
Learned to intemperate a play and create a scenic design with a team of collaborators. Created scenic drafting and build drawings that were used for purchasing and to guide the design. Simplicity was necessary when working with inexperienced students. Leadership is a valuable skill I learned here.
Shows include: Head Over Heels, "Zink: The Myth, The Legend, The Zebra", Little Women, Amelie*, Mary Poppins*, Thaddeus and ‘Tila (A Frog and Crane Tale)**, Peter and The Starcatcher, and Fame*.
Worked as an electrician reading plots to hang, cable, focus, and program lights for corporate events. Learned more about LED and moving fixtures. Worked events like UDA at disney and corporate events at Universal.
Worked with house staff and touring event staff and talent to ensure smooth operation of events including, OCPS Homeless Summit, traveling comedians and entertainers, dance shows, and many others.
Worked to coordinate the One Act Festival at the Florida Theater Conference with Windermere High School.
