I worked as the Assistant Shop Manager in the Spring of 2022 and the Shop Manager from August 2022-May 2023. Our shop includes three main shop areas, including a Craft Room (pictured here), a Soft Goods shop, and a Carpentry Shop. We also have a Spray Booth room, a Blacksmithing Booth, two storage buildings, as well as two shop vehicles.
Our shop ranges from having 35-45 students at a time, including undergraduate and graduate Stage Properties students, as well as rotation students from outside departments. Our Shop Staff team ranges from 10-15 students, including Shop Management, Forepeople, Inventory Staff, and Purchasers.
I work as a mentor to our show Properties Directors, provide insight and feedback, and listen to their concerns so I can help them in their projects.

This was an interesting summer as we were coming back from COVID-19 and performed all of our shows outside in the Black Hills National Forest. This meant I had to consider weather-proofing our props and furniture.
