So you say you wanna make an impression. So say something, say something!

About Me

Hi, the name's Max, I'm 24 and I'm a t-shirt and jeans kinda girl. I'm really into music; all kinds of music. I'm trying to expose myself to as much music as possible, whether it be signed/unsigned, indie/mainstream, any genre.
I work in theme park entertainment. I work on all things backstage: props, scenic, audio, costumes, some lighting and video. Occasionally, I'll be in character. School/Work Stats:
Penn State University - B.S. Electrical Engineering (2004)
The Clubhouse Recording Studio - Studio Assistant Intern
Sesame Place/Anheuser-Busch - Assistant Manager of Costumes; On-Call Assistant Manager of Technical Services
Bucks Community College - Web Design Certificate (Dec 2006)

...This is me...
Hi, the name's Max, I'm 25 and I'm a t-shirt and jeans kinda girl. I like being comfortable. I love music, laughter, smiling, and hugs. I am optimistic, ambitious, and open-minded; fun and spontaneity are always in the mix as well.

Like I said, I love music - all genres. I love discovering new, 'unheard', indie, potential mainstream music. Other than that, I like photography, cycling, and experiencing new things.

I work in entertainment. I work on all things backstage: props, scenic, audio, costumes, some video, and some lighting. I also do some graphic and web design. I'm not afraid of power tools or getting dirty. It's fun! So the whole stereotypical girl concept, me, I'm the opposite.

My run of the touring production of KidzBop has completed in January. I'm looking to move to the LA area, mainly looking for more experience in the music business. We'll see where life takes me.

My new adventure...
