Theatre has been a part of my life in some form or another since I was a todler. My mom would take me to see plays in one of the local comunity theatres or musicals being preformed by the local profesional company. I was always fasinated by the spectacles that would be before my eyes and the stories that could be told. When I finaly began participating in theatre I made the discovery that I was a terrible actress. Despite that I really wanted to be involved with the amazing, loving community that is theatre, so I worked backstage. For the most part I ran light boards, ocasionally working as a stage manager. My love of lighting didn't develop until I came to college. At Gustavus Adolphus College I was able to explore an aspect of theatre that I believe to be minimully understood. I love feeling like I'm in on a big secret. Through lighting design I have discovered that I can help to make worlds come alive on stage, that I can be an artist with very little talent for drawing. I can turn the stage into a hot and sweltering desert or invoke the deeper emotions of the human soul. With lighting I have started to discover who I might possibly become and I am enjoying the person I am meeting every new day! I am currently attending California State University, Long Beach to earn my MFA in Lightign Design. Everyday I am learning, through self discovery and collaboration, more and more about the wonderful art form that is lighting design.

Listed skills include Lighting Design, Musical Theatre, Lighting, Etc Ion Conslue, and 5 others.
