 Profile
I grew up in Eugene, OR, and attended International High School on the Sheldon Campus (graduating in 1995). I went to the University of Oregon immediately after, where I majored in Multimedia Design. I was an active member of Sigma Nu Fraternity and was heavily involved in audiovisual technology and stage production.
After college, I began working as a professional Stage Hand, working for local venues such as the Hult Center (I.A.T.S.E.) as well as independently produced shows. In 2006, I began working for the University of Oregon in the Scheduling & Event Services department as an Event Support Coordinator. This is where I am currently employed.
The UO Scheduling & Events department facilitates all non-academic and non-athletic events on campus. We provide service to student groups, departments, and off-campus groups. Our services range from sound, lighting, A/V and setup support, as well as labor and design resources. In addition to my work as an Event Coordinator, I also serve on the Erb Memorial Union's Board of Directors, a student-run Board (managing a $10 million budget) where I serve as the Staff Representative. My relevant experience and accomplishments include:
