I graduated in June of 2009 from Knox College with a BA in Theater. I now live in Chicago and am currently Stage Managing with Eclipse Theatre on their production of Memory of Two Mondays directed by Steven Fedoruk, opening in September.

When I first moved to Chicago I worked with Vitalist Theatre as the Assistant Stage Manager on their production of The Night Season directed by Elizabeth Carlin-Metz. After that I Stage Managed with Eclipse Theatre for their production of Democracy directed by Steven Fedoruk. I recently closed Girls vs Boys with The House Theatre, directed by Nathan Allen.

Other professional experience includes two summers interning at American Heartland Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri, primarily helping create props for several shows, but also learning a variety of skills in costuming building and repair. I also as worked for Theatre for Young America in Kansas City, Missouri in high school where I Stage Managed extensively.

While a student at Knox I worked in the Scene Shop as a Teachers Assistant. This job gave me basic skills for set construction and lighting. I was am a member of the Theatre Advisory Board where I held the position of Studio Theatre Technical Director. In this position I ran load-ins, changeovers, and strikes, as well as maintained the basic up-keep of Knox College's Studio Theatre.

I also took several lighting and set design courses while at Knox. I Stage Managed several student shows in Knox’s Studio Theatre, as well as several Main Stage Shows in Harbach Theatre. In the future I plan on going to graduate school for Stage Management.
