Hey there! Thank you for stopping by.

​

I am currently an Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, teaching students about design and lighting along the way. I previously served as a Visiting Assistant Professor at Washington and Lee university after receiving my MFA in Theatrical Design form the University of Georgia.

​

My experience is mainly in theatrical lighting and lighting for musical theatre. I also have experience in dance lighting and busking for live music events.

​

I firmly believe that lighting is a tremendous world-building tool and that it has the ability to shape not only our concept of theater but our day-to-day lives as well. I take this belief along with me on every job I pursue so I may take the audience away from wherever their present location is and whisk them away into the world of the show. I am currently interested in research surrounding the instinctual human perception of visual and non-visual stimuli and how this can be used as a tool in theatrical design to influence audiences.

I have had experience serving as a lighting designer, a head electrician, an assistant lighting designer, a light board operator, a stage manager, an assistant stage manager, and a stagehand at venues such as The Koger Center and The Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, South Carolina as well as Keenan Auditorium in Wilmington, North Carolina.
