I am passionate about using technology to enhance the stories that artists

want to tell. With over 4 years hands-on experience in many areas of live

event production- including: lighting, audio, video, stage management,

marketing, graphic design, radio programming, and more, I bring a

comprehensive and holistic perspective to the table, helping to create a

seamless production. Whether leading a production team or

collaborating as an essential member, I excel in orchestrating cohesive

productions that captivate audiences and leave a lasting impression.
