VENUE MANAGEMENT
My experience with venue management began in 2012 when I transitioned from a projectionist to a House Manager at the UW-Milwaukee Union Film Cinema. There I performed sound-checks and set up for annual film festivals, series, live performances, and traveling filmmakers.
Since then I have MC-ed FemFest music events, worked seasonal film festival staff roles such as Venue Manager for Freeland Film Festival, Assistant Venue Manager at the largest Tribeca Festival venue, and with UW-Milwaukee School of Continuing Education Conference Services as an event and spatial manager.
