​
North Central College - Class of 2023
Bachelor of Arts in Theatrical Design & Technology and Theatre: Directing & Dramaturgy
Minor in Philosophy
In my time at NCC, I planned and ran drag shows, managed general audition calls, planned & hosted four years worth of Halloween programming, and created & operated a casino themed escape room.
Artistic Intent
I am deeply passionate about disability education and awareness, and actively promote accessibility in the arts. As a past honoree for the Arthritis Foundation, I have raised awareness about living with a chronic condition and have been a vocal advocate for disability rights. My design focus includes ease of access and making experiences inclusive for everyone. I believe in the importance of creating inclusive spaces in the entertainment industry, and I constantly seek ways to incorporate accessible features into my designs.
