I have been able to work in many facets of theatre, from props to scenes. My passion for painting also allows me to integrate different parts of my life into the work that I do, which makes it enjoyable and fun, as well as makes the quality of my work a lot higher than if I was not constantly doing something that I love.

EDUCATION | With an undergraduate degree from Cornell College in theatre and a Master's in Scenic Design from Boston University.

HOW TO GET STARTED | Some colleges offer specific degrees within theatre field, this is what I did. It is also important to build a resume with volunteer work behind the scenes and INTERNSHIPS, which can be found at most major theatres/scene shops and in industry specific publications.

why I love this job!| I love my job because of the flexibility of the schedule, as well as because it gives me the ability to travel (spend 1 - 6 months getting to know a new place). There are always new problems to solve, and no matter how hard I try, I can never the same job, they are all unique in their own way. I also love that my job allows me to exercise creativity and part of a collaborative art.

what they are | The main challenge of my job is having a personal life that involves non-theatre people

all about growth | All goes well as long as you keep working! It is important to work at different venues, different shops, and to make a variety of contacts and networks. It is also important to always be willing to learn, and with tenure this will take you far.
