- July - September 2020 - Project writeup
Was given the starting point of a "Margarita chat room for a weekly Jose Cuervo celebrity live stream show" and created and designed a Discord server for fans of celebrities like T-Pain, Ilana Glazer, and Keke Palmer. On a daily basis I oversaw content challenges that would reward fans with access to a live video call in show with their favorite celebrities. I created community monitoring guidelines for a team of moderators.
I created a workflow for a team of screeners to vet hundreds of fans for appearance on the show and coordinated fans' virtual arrivals for the taping.
I reported out analytics and engagement numbers in order to modify and alter the interactive components based on fan engagement.

Immersive Stage Manager
Scout venues and adapt concepts to existing spaces. Streamline guest flow and determine an operation plan during show design phase. Supervise build and implementation of creative director's design. Write Standard Operating Procedure guidelines for cast and crew and handle training of all personnel. Oversee technical aspects during run of show to ensure lighting, sound, and effects work as designed, monitor the pre-show guest experience, handle scheduling of performers, and watch performances to identify places for improvement.
Every experience staged brings a different set of logistical challenges as the format of show and type of location is always changing. Experiences have ranged from hour and a half long pieces in 20,000 Sq. Ft buildings with a 30 person cast, to a full day show across 14 locations in Los Angeles, to more intimate shows in small venues.
