1. How long have you been involved in theater? 

I've been a "theater junkie" for as long as I can remember. I'm sincerely fascinated by the entire process involved with producing a play, from the initial script composition, to the performance itself.

2.What lead you to becoming the New Operations Manager at the Charles R. Wood Theater? 

I volunteered for the "Guys and Dolls" performance last year, and fell in love with the Theater instantly. Shortly thereafter, I was speaking with Erin Coon, whom at the time was Operations Manager and acting Executive Director, and discovered a job opening in the box office. I was delighted to hear of it, and grateful for the tip. I jumped at the opportunity.
