About Me.
Jaelle Aquino-Fan is a Lighting Designer student at Purchase College in the Theatre Design/Technology Conservatory. Entering her final year, she is pursuing to enter the industry as an Assistant/Associate Designer. Wishes to work in theatre, musicals and plays, and live entertainment.
Her love for theatre started in high school by being a board op for all the school's plays and musicals. Entering college she found that lighting was her passion as it was the first aspect that caught her eye when watching any show. The way it provoked emotion and helped tell the story is what made her choose lighting above all else.
