RESUME
Summary
I love designing and creating for theatre and events; especially, but not limited to lighting solutions. Thanks to this passion, I bring with me to every production award-winning results with strong attention to detail. With my teaching background and desire to educate and train, anyone involved in the production team who wants to learn "on-the-job" or collaborate on a new idea or approach will find their opportunity to do so. My professional and collaborative leadership combined with a dedicated work ethic will see any project or series of projects through to positive critical, audience & business results.
