quickly realized she didn’t like acting or auditioning. So, she spent a year at her community theatre doing everything else — building sets, hanging lights, painting, stage managing and making copies. Those experiences, hard work and camaraderie inspired her to study to be a lighting and scenic designer. “In scenic design, I create the world the characters inhabit, and in lighting design I convey the emotion of moments, often without the audience ever noticing.” In 2012, she moved from the busy
