Current Position:
Department Supervisor, Maggie Allesee Department of Theatre & Dance, Wayne State University

With a well understanding of artists, business operations & problem solving within the fine arts community, I assist to oversee and support the university’s mission and assist the departments faculty and staff to provide a platform for our student’s creativity and preparation for their career development.

Encouragement to learn everything possible about the industry a person wishes to be a part of.

Allow yourself to be ok with a fluctuating pathway in your career. Be professional and respectful, learn policies, ask good questions, and most importantly of all; be self-aware about your work and your goals and ask yourselves “What can I do to make today better?”.

A great admirer of Detroit's artistic community, from time to time I will venture to see a local band play or see a show at a community-supported venue/theatre. I still vacation in the UP each chance I get from Marquette to Crystal Falls and every town in between!
