About Me

I’m a multidisciplinary designer and technician who has a diverse background in theater, robotics, and engineering.  

Because of my background in both STEM and the arts, I am a innovation-driven creative with a keen eye for detail as well as the technical know how needed to execute and manage projects. By blending both the arts and sciences, I ensure that each production not only captivates viewers but also operates seamlessly behind the scenes, showcasing the transformative power of collaboration within the realm of performing arts.

Education

American River College 2024/26

Transferring to UC Davis 2026 for Electrical Engineering & Theater double major

  • The Technical Theatre degree from American River College provides a broad overview of theatre with an emphasis on exploring the technical elements of theatre. Topics include stagecraft, lighting, costuming, makeup, sound, and puppetry, together with opportunities for practical participation in productions

  • This degree from American River College provides training in a multi-disciplinary field focusing on industrial automation. Topics include electricity, electronics, industrial motor controls, programmable logic controllers, robotics, AC/DC drives, mechanical design, and manufacturing technologies.

  • The certificate from American River College provides an overview of the application, programming, and design of robotic systems and components. It covers the theory and application of electronics, sensors, controllers, and robots. Various robotic platforms are used to give a wide understanding of all types of current and future systems.

  • This certificate from American River College provides training in basic electronics theory and applications, telecommunication copper and fiber optic systems, and surface mount soldering devices (SMD). It also includes schematic symbol interpretation and basic electronic troubleshooting. This certificate can be completed in one semester, making it an ideal stepping stone to the Advanced Electronics and Telecommunications certificate.

Core Beliefs on AI

While I am always looking for new, artistic applications of technology, I also believe heavily in creating with integrity. It is for this reason that I do not believe in the use of generative AI or AI Art, personally or professionally. AI technology may be a useful tool in certain applications, but it is my personal belief  that it would be disingenuous to pass off work generated by AI as your own.


I attest that all work presented in this portfolio has been human-made by me and has not been generated using AI. There is inherent value in the creative process, and even if AI can generate content quicker than humans, it will never be able to create, only generate.
