Adjunct Instructor
Syracuse Stage and Syracuse University Drama Department (2014 - 2019)·
Directed a multidisciplinary team of professional and student artisans in the planning, fabricating, and installing prop and set dressing for over 12 productions per season at a prominent regional theatre and nationally renowned performing arts BFA program.
Oversaw the end-to-end management of hundreds of prop items, ensuring seamless collaboration with highly regarded guest directors and designers and collaboration with fellow production departments to maintain artistic excellence and fiscal responsibility.
Overhauled physical workshop spaces and consistently tweaked departmental communication and task management to improve organization and workflow efficiency while continuously exploring new fabrication techniques and materials to expand capabilities, meet evolving demands, and improve safety standards.
Cultivated a positive, energized work culture, fostered interest, and boosted department morale by empowering team members through celebrating work by partnering with marketing on social media teasers to generate excitement for upcoming projects.
Leveraged and promoted positive and lasting liaisons with local vendors, patrons, community members, and fellow prop colleagues to troubleshoot and source prop elements and materials.
Served on the “Disruptors” Committee during a restructuring and redefining of Syracuse Stage’s vision and strategic plan between 2017-2018. I was appointed to this committee which I considered an honor as someone who is willing to think outside of the box to formulate new ideas to help an organization move forward.
