Summary

With a positive attitude and strong work ethic, I am an experienced and reliable candidate who excels at managing multiple tasks. I am always willing to take on extra responsibilities to help my team achieve our goals. My experience in the theater, film, and commercial industry as an actor since the age of nine has given me a deep understanding of set placement and design, as well as the importance of props and their purpose in production. I have also helped with tech for my high school's theater company and directed One Acts, which involved creating sets and props. This unique perspective allows me to contribute effectively to the process of building and using sets and props. I am a hard worker who can collaborate well with others. Additionally, I have a knack for memorizing lines quickly, making me a valuable asset not only to the set/prop team but also as an emergency fill-in on stage if needed. I believe I would make a great addition to your crew.
