Directed live studio programs and full-scale productions across two theatre organizations, managing the kind of cross-functional coordination that mirrors enterprise-level event execution.

What I Did

Directing Cross-Functional Teams of 30+ Led cast and crew teams of 30+ members through rehearsal processes, technical builds, and final performances. Every production required aligning designers, technicians, performers, and stage managers toward a single creative vision on a fixed timeline.
Live Events for 500+ Audiences Delivered final presentations and live events to audiences of up to 500+ attendees on strict, non-negotiable deadlines. There's no "push the launch date" in live theatre. The curtain goes up whether you're ready or not, so you get ready.
Curriculum & Narrative Development Researched, drafted, and edited compelling narratives and scripts, translating complex concepts into accessible curriculum for diverse learners. The goal was always maximum comprehension, regardless of the audience's starting point.
Culture Building Championed organizational values by modeling inclusion and conflict resolution for young artists. Built environments where people felt safe enough to take creative risks, which is where the best work happens.

The Approach

Directing is project management with a heartbeat. You're coordinating logistics, managing personalities, hitting immovable deadlines, and making sure the final product moves people. The skills transfer directly to corporate event coordination, town halls, and large-scale program delivery.
