About Me
I'm a high school student passionate about theatre production, with a specialization in lighting design. Over the past three years, I've worked on numerous school and community theatre productions, developing skills in both the technical and artistic aspects of theatrical lighting.
I believe that lighting is the invisible storyteller in theatre - it sets the mood, guides the audience's attention, and enhances the emotional journey of every performance. My approach combines technical precision with creative vision to support the director's artistic goals while ensuring actor and crew safety.
When I'm not in the theatre, you can find me studying lighting techniques from Broadway productions, learning new programming skills on lighting consoles, or volunteering at local community theatre groups. I'm excited to pursue theatre production in college and eventually work in professional theatre.
