My work experiences while in college, primarily at the Provost’s Office and establishing the Honor’s College Research Newsletter, gave me the confidence and experience to apply for a position at Sight & Sound Theatres. Through the past five years, I’ve worked in several positions, most recently finding my fit as a Project Manager in our Creative Services department. I get to use my creativity to help manage the retail offerings for our theatre, my organizational skills to support projects for our HR and Facilities’ teams, and even my love for Christmas to coordinate the Christmas decorating efforts at the theatre.  While my job is diverse, there are elements of my English degree that I use, as I frequently am counted on to be the copy editor for large and small projects. I’m grateful for the opportunity to work at a place that is known for exceptional productions and service, and know that I’m here thanks to my Millersville degree and education.
