Theatre

Even when I'm not crunching numbers to promote institutional transparency, I can't get away from the technical side of storytelling! I'm an avid lighting designer and technical producer for Harvard's undergraduate theatre productions and currently serve as Tech Liasion for the Harvard-Radcliffe Dramatic Club, Harvard's umbrella theatre organization which oversees over 10 productions each semester.
