The COVID-19 Crisis means my industry is going to be on hold for the next year, potentially two years. I am an extremely hard worker and I understand what it takes to see major projects through to the finish line on a tight schedule - that's what Grand Opera is all about. I work with diverse groups of people, multiple unions, bringing everyone together to make massive productions succeed. I bring passion, critical thinking skills, and empathy to every task I undertake.
