I am personable, expeditious, and entrepreneurial with exemplary communication and leadership skills, as well as a determined work ethic. Recently I attended The Boston Conservatory at Berklee for my Masters degree, having completed my undergraduate degree in music theatre performance from Western Michigan University. I’ve began acting professionally after my first year of college; ultimately joining Actor’s Equity Association after my second year. While at WMU my free time was spent becoming proficient in multimedia design, and sound engineering inspired by my lifelong fascination with information/communication technology and music.I’m an avid problem solver, identifying challenges as opportunities to learn and maximize my own potential and marketability. I see success, not as a distant goal, but a daily commitment to improve the quality of life; for those with whom I interact one-on-one while determinately working toward aspirations to better the world for generations to come. As such, I’ve long since cultivated a love for people and instinctively seek any opportunity to learn from, about, and with each person I meet. Most recently I was the lead sound designer for an adaptation of Macbeth at the Charles Hayden Planetarium hosted by the Boston Museum of Science in collaboration with the Psych Drama Company. On stage I was a member of the Elliot Norton Award Winning company of a production of All Is Calm at Greater Boston stage company. I played Pa/Buster in The Color Purple at Umbrella Stage Company, The Wizard in The Wizard of Oz and Rudolpho in Matilda, both at Wheelock Family Theatre where I also teach and choreograph for their youth classes and productions. Other notable professional roles include: Four-Eyed Moe in Five Guys Named Moe at the Mason Street Warehouse Theatre in Michigan; Mitch Mahoney in …Spelling Bee and Richie in A Chorus Line, both at the Wagon Wheel Theatre in Indiana. I have many goals combining my passion for technological innovation with my love of communication through music and artistic expressions. Most notably:Earning my PhD in Neuromusicology with a forces on the biological mechanics of music and sound in nature. In the areas of communication, problem solving, disease prevention and treatment, and improving the overall quality of life. This research will form the foundation for an international institute to cultivate cross-cultural relationships in the arts and beyond; providing communication resources and scholarships and fostering collaboration across communities and countries otherwise separated.
