Born and raised in the notably scenic views of Columbus, Ohio, my childhood was full of inspiration. Where else would a young creative kid turn to besides the theater? Realizing that scenery was just large scale art is when I knew this was the career path for me. From there I obtained my BFA in theatre design and technology from Otterbein University. Now I am the technical director at Hilliard Bradley High School. While I accepted that job primarily so I can share my love of theatre with others, I can’t deny the additional perks of staying up to date on the latest slang and being commonly mistaken for a student. What can I say, it keeps me young. In my free time I enjoy curating the perfect playlist, line dancing (it’s more Pitbull than country music,) and of course teaching my creative skills to others.

Don’t worry the image to the right is just makeup from a stage makeup class. The real Rossi experience usually doesn’t involve gills or scales.
