I've been interested in theatrical lighting design since I was in middle school when I was the board operator for a summer production of High School Musical and a spotlight operator for Suessical in my sophomore year of high school. Since then, I've done electrician-type work at the high school, college, and professional levels. I'm familiar and comfortable with bench focusing, hanging and focusing, and light board operation (primarily Element/Element 2, ION, and ETCNomad systems). I'm the president of Carleton College's Technical Theater Team and oversee the maintenance of multiple theaters on campus. 

I have been dancing since I was roughly three years old, following my dad around at Morris practice and dancing to Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor, and Debbie Reynolds in Singin' in the Rain. I spent thirteen years at Young Dance, a youth all-abilities dance company based in the Twin Cities, and served on the board for two additional years after graduating from the repertory company. At Carleton College, I was a Semaphore Repertory Dance Company member and co-president of the Experimental Dance Board. I received the Sigrid and Erling Larsen Award in Creative and Performing Arts my senior year.

You can find examples of my work under the "Portfolios" section of my website and more about my choreography under the "Artist Statement" portion.
