At Kickstand Comedy, my role as Artistic Director and Co-Founder has been to enliven Portland's comedy scene and foster a community where creativity thrives. Our achievements include establishing the Kickstand Comedy Training Center, a beacon of growth for local improv, stand up, and sketch writing talent. The art of storytelling, a focus on deep collaboration, and creative problem-solving are at the heart of my work, as demonstrated through my leadership in booking, programming, and managing community partnerships.With a rich background in Experiential and Immersive design, I honed skills in narrative structuring and interview booking, blending historical documentation with creative fantasy and game-theater. My efforts contributed to crafting a memorable podcast experience that resonated with audiences, stand-out custom escape room experiences, and critically acclaimed immersive events. At the core of my professional journey is a dedication to innovative entertainment and the empowerment of artists and storytellers.
