What I'm looking for

I seek technical production roles in live events or theater where I can manage audio/lighting setups, collaborate with crews, and grow my technical leadership.

I am a BFA theater student specializing in Design, Technology, and Management with practical experience in live event support and technical production. I have worked directly with clients and touring crews to set up, program, and operate lighting and audio equipment for a variety of events.

At JBK Student Center I collaborate with clients and other departments to configure lighting and sound systems quickly and to specification; I focus on efficient programming and reliable execution. My stagehand work at Amarillo Civic Center involved loading/unloading touring equipment and coordinating with tour crews to ensure timely setups.

I bring strong communication, teamwork, and technical skills using industry tools and software, and I am seeking roles that let me contribute to high-quality live productions while continuing to develop my technical expertise.
