As a freelance stage lighting professional, I was drawn to the creative and technical challenges of the role.I began working in a mid-sized venue in Lisbon with a capacity of around 500 people, where I gained hands-on experience not only in lighting design and operation, but also in equipment maintenance and venue support.In addition to my primary role with lighting, I also assist with sound technical support tasks, including helping with soundchecks and the setup/disassembly of shows.
