Sesame Place

I began my journey at Sesame Place in 2021 as an entry-level Events Technician. Since then, I’ve grown into the role of Manager of Theatrical Services and Event Theming, leading a multidisciplinary team responsible for daily show operations, technical maintenance, and the design and installation of large-scale seasonal event overlays. Together, we bring immersive experiences to life through storytelling, technical precision, and creative collaboration.
