WHAT AM I AFTER?The highest possible level of production for live and virtual events! WHAT KINDS OF EVENTS?Bring it on! Live, virtual, corporate, non-profit. The more theatrical, the better. With 20 years of experience as a production manager, stage manager, and producer for a wide array of live events and theater in Chicago and Seattle, I can lead a project from inception to execution.HOW DO I SUCCEED?Through expert management of production resources, safe work practices, and excellent client service and communication.By partnering with clients, designers, and artists and empowering them to craft their narrative.Through careful consideration of the audience experience.WHAT GETS ME EXCITED? Being in the mix. Boots on the ground. Leading a talented crew. The execution phase, when the vision takes shape before our eyes.WHAT AM I MOST PROUD OF?My Pandemic Pivot. I took a deep breath, then I used the time to my advantage. I took courses, developed new skills, and got myself certified for the future. I transferred my client experience to the virtual realm, and before long I was the one helping clients visualize and craft their stories, sell their products, and navigate their business events through state mandates and lockdowns.ARTS THAT ARE VITAL TO ME:Music! I play saxophone (baritone, tenor, alto, soprano) and I think we should get together and practice jazz standards sometime soon, ok?
