At Skye, I work closely with Location Managers to provide the equipment and support that they require for their shoot. I load and drive large panel trucks, lift and move heavy gear, and improvise solutions to unforseen problems with the productions

At the Great Horror Campout, I was responsible for two main areas: check-in and a game area known as 'Ramball.' At check-in, I co-existed among the patrons in line. I answered questions, guided them through the process, and kept set the tone of the experience. At Ramball, I served as the referee/umpire - I enforced the rules, kept time and score, and acted as liason from our area to the larger production. I also addressed complaints and subtly modified the game to balance enjoyment with challenge

As a Set PA for The Clapper, my duties varied widely from shoot to shoot. I performed large-scale crowd control during our shoot day on Hollywood Boulevard, saw to the needs of our crew during a 90+ degree outdoor shoot, and took charge of background holding and herding, as well as updating their SAG-AFTRA paperwork

As a key member of Theater Ops, I directed and assisted patrons, controlled foot traffic, and strove to maintain the perfect viewing experience for each screening I led. In addition, I was the lead troubleshooter and field tester for the roll-out of a new pass-scanning system
