About

Allen High School (2021-Present) I teach all Technical Theatre classes and serve as the Technical Director for our main stage productions: Fall Show, Musical, and UIL OAP. I help to sponsor the International Thespian Society chapter and mentor students in the UIL Theatre Design contest. My role involves designing and overseeing the technical aspects of our productions, including lighting, projections, special effects, sound, set design and construction, ensuring that each performance is executed to the highest standard. Collaborating with students, I help them develop their skills and creativity, turning their ideas into reality on stage. I am finishing my fourth and a half year at Allen High School. Wylie High School (2010-2021) I was the Technical Director for eleven and a half years. Between 2010 and 2017, I taught junior varsity acting, directed plays each semester, and managed Main Stage productions as Technical Director, including musicals and UIL one-act competition pieces. From fall 2017 to 2021, my responsibilities primarily involved Technical Direction for all classes and productions. During Covid, my responsibilities shifted to directing the Black Box performers in She Kills Monsters: The Adventurers Edition. Additionally, I served as the technical director for this production. In the following spring, I was scheduled to direct The Sweet Science of Bruising.
