Who I am
I am a project coordinator and technical producer working at the intersection of themed entertainment, live events, and experiential production. My focus is on helping complex projects move forward by keeping teams aligned, systems integrated, and communication clear, so creative ideas can become functioning, guest-ready experiences.
While my background spans show production, lighting and A/V systems, scenic construction, and program coordination, the foundation of my work has always been People.
I am most effective in environments that rely on collaboration, trust, and shared momentum. Whether coordinating a multidisciplinary team or supporting day-to-day operations, I approach every interaction with the belief that professionalism and kindness are not separate skills, but ones that reinforce each other.
I have experience managing teams, supporting guests and stakeholders, and working in fast-paced production environments where clarity, optimism, and open communication matter. I take pride in creating spaces- both on projects and in everyday interactions- where people feel supported, respected, and motivated to do their best work. I believe that even small moments of hospitality and consideration can make a meaningful difference, and I carry that mindset into everything I do.
My technical background allows me to communicate fluently with designers, technicians, and operators, while my coordination experience has trained me to think at a systems level: anticipating dependencies, identifying gaps, and maintaining continuity as projects evolve. I am drawn to themed entertainment because it demands both imagination and rigor, but also because it is fundamentally about creating experiences around people and their interaction with it.
At the core of my work is a simple goal: to contribute to environments where collaboration feels good, challenges are met with optimism and effort, and the end result- whether a themed attraction or a brief interaction- leaves someone’s day a little brighter.
