I am an Arizona based lighting designer with over 15 years of experience in the Phoenix area and in New York City. After receiving my BFA from Arizona State University, I moved to New York to pursue my career in live performance. I have designed for dance performances, musicals, conceptual performance art, new works, plays and musical performances. I have worked as an actor, writer, director, and producer, but nothing compares to my passion for lighting design and production. My excitement for design, not only in the sphere of live performance, but in all aspects of my life, has driven me to take great care and meaning in every production I have had the pleasure to been involved with. I take immense pride in the local theatre scene in Phoenix Arizona and am humbled by the larger cooperation of artist and friends throughout the theatre community that I have had the honor of working and learning from. In 2022,  I received a Masters in Education and now teach Career and Technology Education classes in  Technical Theater at Carl Hayden Community High School, and Lighting Design at Scottsdale Community College.
