  • Production Manager at CLAS Producciones
    Nov 2018 - Nov 2019 · 1 yr 1 mo

    For the last year I've worked in the Venezuelan production of "Les Miserables". Primarily I started the production as a Production Assistant in the casting process. As the project further developed I moved up to a Production Manager working hand in hand with the General Producer, Claudia Salazar. Undertaking a project of this magnitude was incredible and doing it for the first time ever in Venezuela was truly an honor. While the cast was in rehearsals, my main task during preproduction was helping out the production designer find all the required material needed for set construction. Because I was out and about a lot I also got asked to acquire different products and material for every department. Once we had moved into the theater I was tasked with managing our orchestra which counted with over 45 musicians. The show only had 11 presentations but the owners of the rights, Cameron Mackintosh, his team and original music composer for the show, Claude-Michel Schönberg, were delighted with the production and have granted us the rights to take the show on a tour though different countries in South & Central America.

  • Head Counselor at Forest Lake Camp
    Jun 2019 - Aug 2019 · 3 mos

    One of the Head Counselor for a boys summer camp. In charge of running the camp, looking over all the male staff and campers through Staff Training, 2 Sessions, Family Camp and volunteering with Bonnie Brae. Day to day tasks consist of me assuring the camp follows the programed schedule, campers sign up for activities, counselors guide the activities accordingly and resolve any issues that may present themselves though out the day. In great part I'm there to help teach key work ethic values to the young staff and guide them in this process. In regards to campers my main task is to make sure they have an unforgettable experience and desire to come back next year.
