WHAT I THINK
LIGHTING PHILOSOPHY
Lighting is so much more than just pushing buttons on the console. It is the magic that turns a space into a living canvas. As a storytelling-tool, lighting sets the tone of the scenes, transporting the audience to realms of laughter, tears, and suspense.
I embrace lighting as art, knowing that each lighting cue adds depth and atmosphere, making every production memorable.

PROP MANAGEMENT
MY PHILOSOPHY
Prop Management is not just about moving objects around the stage. By choosing the correct props, and keeping them organized and ready for the actors to use as they bring a story to life.
I embrace prop management as an art form, fully aware that each carefully placed item adds layers of authenticity and atmosphere. It's these little details that make each show unforgettable and transport the audience to a place they'll remember.
LEADERSHIP
MY PHILOSOPHY
Show nights can be chaos with actors running around, props vanishing, lights blinking, and everything else that could go wrong, often going wrong.
As a stage manager, it's my job to be the glue that holds a production together. It means knowing every cue, every beat, and more importantly keeping the mood upbeat to help the actors stay in character, even if something unexpected happens.
