Having recently left my position as the Operations Manager at a 24-person technical theatre company in the East Bay, I am open to conversations about ways in which my skills could be useful on a short-term or ongoing basis. As a person with a relatively diverse academic and work background, I believe the breadth of my experience often proves helpful to problem-solving and systems setup projects.
