About

I am a senior production and operations leader with 20+ years of experience in technical theatre, live entertainment, cultural programming, venue operations, corporate events, and large-scale production management. I have a proven track record coordinating cross-functional teams, managing multimillion-dollar budgets, labor coordination (union and non-union), safety compliance, and delivering complex productions for artists, executives, and public audiences.

I was recognized by The New York Times as The Shed’s ‘COVID Commander’ for leadership in reopening indoor performances in New York City after the COVID shutdown. I bring a rare blend of artistic fluency, operational discipline, technical know-how, and crisis-tested execution to every project, from planning through on-site delivery.
