Education
Bachelor of Arts in Theater, Mount Saint Mary’s College, Emmitsburg, Maryland, 1994
Concentration: Theatrical Design – Lighting & Scenic
Proficiencies
As a lighting and sound design professional, I have developed a deep understanding of the various technologies and software used in the field. While my primary focus now is on using Hog4 consoles and Capture software for preprogramming visualization, I have also gained expertise in using a wide range of other consoles and software.
My proficiency in lighting visualization, drafting, modeling, and audio software for theater has allowed me to create stunning visual and audio effects in my productions. I am also well-versed in graphic design software, which enables me to produce high-quality output suitable for both wide-format printing and CAMM for 3D output on high-speed spindle tables.
As someone who is committed to staying current with the latest advancements in my field, I am constantly updating my skills and knowledge. You can find a comprehensive list of my console, software, and hardware proficiencies here..
