I live on the North side of Chicago with my loving husband and two cats. I am a scenic designer, educator, and scenic artist, and I often assist other designers with drafting and model building. I completed my graduate degree in Sustainable Management in Spring 2023, and I am excited to actively apply my studies to the Chicago arts community and beyond. I love working on new plays, working on theatre for young audiences, designing with found materials, and striving for circularity with those materials. In the future I hope to take on more teaching, mentorship, community engagement, and organizational leadership roles.
