What I’m Available For

I am currently available for entry-level and assistant lighting / production roles in Portland.

  • Lighting & Production Support

    • Lighting technician calls

    • Board operation / cue playback

    • Assistant lighting design support

    • Load-in, focus, and strike

    • Basic DMX, addressing, and patch support

    • Small-room theater, cabaret, burlesque, circus, dance, and nightlife events

    • Production assistant work for live performance environments

    I am especially interested in rooms where lighting supports atmosphere, sensuality, timing, reveal, physical storytelling, and performer-audience tension.

Who  I am

I come from performance, so I understand the stage from the inside.

My background in circus, burlesque, dance, partner acrobatics, and movement gives me a strong sense of timing, bodies, entrances, exits, weight shifts, reveals, and live audience energy.

I am not trying to present myself as an advanced lighting designer before I have earned that title. I am building the craft from the ground up: learning the technical language, getting into rooms, supporting working designers and technicians, and becoming more useful with every call.

I am currently building my lighting foundation through hands-on work, self-study, and production support.

Current areas of study:

  • DMX fundamentals

  • Addressing and patching

  • ETC EOS

  • Cue playback

  • Lighting paperwork

  • Basic troubleshooting

  • Small-room theatrical lighting

  • Cabaret, burlesque, circus, and dance lighting aesthetics

My goal is to become a reliable lighting technician and board op first, then grow into assistant lighting design and original lighting design work.
