My Resume
After growing up in Birmingham, Alabama I went to New York in 2012 to earn my BFA in Theatre Design from Adelphi Universtiy. I have been working in the theater as an actor, designer, and technician since 2006; each year moving more towards lighting and sound design as a focus. I have played competitive soccer and lacrosse, graduated from the Adelphi University Honors College with a 3.87 GPA, and at every opportunity attempted to become the most well-rounded person possible. I completed my MFA in Lighting Design from the University of Cincinnati in 2019 and for the past two years have been working as an Associate Lighting Designer for Walt Disney Imagineering in Orlando, FL.

To highlight collaboration as an important attribute to a designer is redundant because to speak of design is to imply the essential collaboration. Though I focus in lighting design, I view myself as one small part of a larger whole. Whether designing for an architectural project, a theatrical production, or a fashion show, I am committed to being a part of the larger story and purpose of the work. I revel in the collaboration which is present in all superlative creation. My primary focus in what I do is to contribute to the creative process in any way I can, regardless of position.
