About

Not only do I have a BA in Film digital productions, but I also have constructed, designed, and build sets for theatrical shows. I have also designed props for CSU Sacramento's Fall 2012 Production of Robin Hood. I have acted in Student Directed 10 minute pieces for a Theatre Directing class. There is more than one way to do something and that is the beauty of working in the media and entertainment business. Also the process that goes into the creation of Theatre and Film creates a cyclical universe that supplements everything from Science, Math, and English.
