PRODUCTION

Recently, I produced a free three day festival in Erie, Pennsylvania: Erie's Blues & Jazz Festival. The Festival is in it's 26th year, and it was an honor to be a part of the madness, nonetheless producing the show. 

My responsibilities for this Festival included, but were not limited to: contracting artists for the mainstage performances, renting all necessary equipment, assisting in marketing and development, making occasional appearances in local media to promote the Festival, inventorying and maintaining a clean storage facility, contracting performing artists, contracting food vendors, working with the city to create a cohesive trash pick-up plan, create easy to read signage throughout the Festival, and to put out fires anywhere issues arose.

SOCIAL MEDIA & FANDOM STUDIES

I worked as a Social Media Coordinator for The College of Wooster. I ran their Instagram, Snapchat, and coordinated with their Twitter account, while posting new content daily to different platforms. Check out what my team is up to and what Wooster has to offer at @woosinsider! Academically, I have just earned my Bachelor's and finished my year-long, in-depth, independent study on the rhetorical characteristics employed by the twenty one pilots fandom to create and maintain a community on Twitter. This project has enhanced my knowledge of Twitter tremendously and has helped me understand how to better market bands in a way that builds off of fandom-power without exploiting members of said fandom.
