My passion for Theater started as child where I fell in love with musicals, dancing and singing (although it wasn’t my strongest talent). I joined local children’s theater in early middle-school and did auditions and small shows up until my freshman year of high-school where I transitioned to the Technical side of the stage and I never looked back. I fell in love with every aspect of the backstage world from set painting and building, to working as a stagehand, to programming the sound board and helping out with the lighting team. I decided to pursue this passion to a greater level by expanding my studies at Savannah College of Art and Design, where I studied Production Design. Here I learned skills such as prop making, model making, and set design. I mainly worked alongside classmate passion projects for photography sets, but my greatest feat was working on the first ever XR stage production at the University. Here I worked with a team to paint and decorate the set with props. Unfortunately, going to school during the pandemic limited my ability to work in shows throughout my time at SCAD, however, I was able to rediscover these similar skills in my current position as a set painter and production artist at the Event Design company, Amaryllis.
