Professional Profile
I am a professional in the field of live entertainment with more than four years of experience in the management and administration of live theater
productions, including theme park entertainment and talent operations. My educational background is in live management and media production
areas, including a certificate from Fullerton College with an emphasis on technical theater and stage management. During the last three years I have
had the opportunity to work for several companies in California like the Walt Disney Company (Disneyland Resort) where I served as an assistant stage
manager; as well as several theaters in Orange County with roles such as Production and Stage Manager.
My education and these professional experiences have given me the skills and knowledge that are desired in all backstage and onstage areas of
entertainment. I enjoy working with teams and in fast-paced environments and have always succeeded in my work with an excellent professional
attitude and confidence in my abilities. With experience in both theatrical and corporate entertainment I am capable to be an efficient and safetybased leader that works as a central hub of communication for any type of production. I am dedicated to creating an outstanding product and service
quality without leaving aside the vision and values of the company.
