Although my main focuses are advertising and journalism, with a bit of photography, I have a deep background in technical theater. I started theater in high school as an entry-level scenic carpenter and painter. It wasn’t until I found a theater in college that I began to excel. I found a home in theatrical scenic design specifically in theatrical props. For the last year and a half, I have worked as Southern Illinois University's in-house Props Master. I handle all things scenic and hand props. From picking out the perfect period-appropriate dinner china to creating a fake deep friend Hello Kitty cupcake out of foam and clay. Every time I think I’ve seen it all another fun and daunting project comes with a new production.
