Cabarets. Theatre. Special events.
|
In my work as a creative producer, I believe in a community-oriented mindset. My background as a dramaturg heavily influences how I approach each project: what community is this event serving? Who is in the audience and who isn't? And how might we create an environment that is welcoming to folks not already in the room?
My love for assembling folks to make magic really began in high school when I served in various leadership roles on Student Council, Drama Club, and other extra curricular activities. In college, I produced cabarets, readings of new works, and post-show discussions for folks to come together and talk about the art they've just witnessed.
