Production & Stage Management
My extensive experience as an arts presenter has made me comfortable overseeing logistics for multiple productions simultaneously (up to 400 a year). With over 20 years of experience stage managing, I’ve overseen productions and crews at small venues to public outdoor events attended by 60,000. I’ve had the opportunity to set the stage for legendary musicians, politicians, speakers, community leaders, dancers, and circus performers.
Tour Management
From concert halls to clubs, I’ve worked on tours ranging from 3 to 120 on the road across the US, Europe, Asia, and Australia. Working on tours for the San Francisco Symphony was one of the most exciting points of my career. I then brought the experience to my time managing the SFJAZZ Collective. I love logistics (making tour books is one of my favorite things ever!) and am here to provide support advancing, on the road, and with contracting, budgeting, & settlements.
Arts Education Program and Curriculum Development
I started my career as a private music teacher and am passionate about making the arts available to everyone. My positions with VH1 Save the Music, the San Francisco Symphony’s Adventures in Music program, the Youth Orchestra Division of the League of American Orchestras, and as a Board Member for Living Dream Arts have allowed me to be part of providing arts education for over a million children nationwide. I’ve developed curriculum, organized teacher workshops, and prepared musicians for the classroom. I’m here to help you develop your materials and performances and navigate the process of getting your program into schools and your local community.
Website Content Development, Marketing Copy, and Publications
Every performer, program, series, and organization must have promotional materials, but who has time to write copy when there’s art to be made and programs to run? I’m here to draft the prose to promote your work.
Project Management
Have a special or short-term project? I have extensive experience working across departments and constituents. I am available to manage grant allocations, capital projects, and special initiatives.
