Personal Profile

Get To Know Me

            I am currently a student at Cornell College, with a focus in lighting and costume design and intending to graduate in May 2019 with a B.S.S. degree in Theatre and the Arts. In my time at Cornell, I've been thrilled to serve as an associate and lead lighting designer, master electrician and assistant lighting designer for many main stage theatre productions. For the past three years, I have also been working in the Costume Shop for our Theatre Department. I have had the wonderful opportunity to work on costumes for every Cornell College production since the fall of 2015, which led to my promotion to the position Student Costume Shop Manager. The position has pushed me to become an educator, collaborator, and leader for my fellow students. I also served as the Technical Director of Cornell College’s Student Theatre Council for 2 consecutive terms. This position allowed me to work with all of the design areas to facilitate conversation and lead discussions for a cohesive design.
