Jessica Tandy Kammerud

Jessica Tandy Kammerud is an Assistant Professor of Stage Properties. She believes working in props comes down to two fundamental components: problem solving and storytelling. She approaches her work with curiosity, imagination and empathy, and encourages her students to do the same. 

It is my goal to encourage students to be well-rounded humanbeings who prize and foster curiosity — to build students up to feel confidence in the skills they have and to know how to acquire any new skills necessary.
