I have been captivated by entertainment lighting since a very young age and have cultivated a passions for lighting live events. Upon receiving my B.A. in Stage Design and Technology Management in 2008 from Wagner College in Staten Island, New York, I got my start at Port Lighting Systems working my way up the ranks from Technician to Project Manager to Senior Project Manager and Lighting Designer. It has been there that I was able to further develop my leadership and time management abilities, as well as further enhance my design, programming, rigging, client and budget management skills. I have experienced the nuances of working in arenas, clubs, ballrooms, tents, and unconventional venues of all shapes and sizes both locally and touring. I am able to multitask, and am often found directing crews while programming a show or making onsite repairs to a light. It is through my incredibly strong work ethic and constant hunger for success that I quickly earn the trust and respect of my co-workers and employers. When I am presented with a task or challenge I go at it 100% giving it the best of my abilities and see it through till the end- there are certainly NO white gloves in my tool-kit! It is my flexibility and willingness to bend but not break that has lead to happy clients and successful shows.
