I have been in the creative field in one facet or another for the entirety of my professional life.

Turns out art, theatre and a headstrong nature is hereditary. 

My dad is a Technical Director, Roadie, Rigger and Jack-of-all trades in the world of theatre. After spending childhood sick-days backstage in the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center of Charlotte, I developed a reverence for the gritty logistics, unfathomable scale and awesome artistic talent that creates an immersive world.

I got the bug for large scale art in earnest during high school while being elected to facilitate a backdrop for a school production. This application of my art showed me the potential to transform a space and create a world where people find temporary respite. The realization that your personal work can impact others is intoxicating, transformative and had me hooked. 

While I began my professional career as a scenic artist and designer, I discovered that education provided me with a secondary passion of building communities and guiding students to discovering their own individual creativity, value and power. 

I taught high school technical theatre for several years and through that experience I became acutely aware of the importance of art in building community and pride in local neighborhoods while sharing impactful, valuable stories.

I have used the the well-earned organizational prowess from teaching and running that Technical Theatre department to work in the project management field for the past few years. While I feel that the project management field is integral to the success of projects, I sought the creative fulfillment that I had sidelined for the sake of a regular paycheck.
Now in a new stage of my life with my 2 young boys, I am rededicating my creative energy, realigning my path and hoping to show my kids that your passions are worth pursuing.​
