About
From a very early age, some of my first memories are of playing dress-up
and making my Halloween costumes. I always loved to dress up for everything, and when fall rolled around each year I would start planning and scheming for the one day when I was allowed to dress up in a costume. It always had to be perfect, whether that meant wearing a fur coat in 70-degree weather when I dressed up as a cat, or spending all my allowance at Goodwill to put together that perfect Roger rabbit ensemble . . . well, I was always hooked.
I should have known that my love of dressing up and performing would lead to two connected carreers: costuming and acting. I started the latter in fifth grade and have been a theatre-person since, feeling that special electricity whenever I’m onstage. The costuming took a little longer; I got my first sewing machine as a freshman in high school, and started my theatrical costuming career in college at Tulane University in NOLA. Since then I’ve been working up a storm, always trying to stretch myself and confront new challenges, and it shocks me to realize that I’ve been costuming for more than a decade.
I have been priviledged enough to work with some very talented people 
over the years in Chicago, Wisconsin, and New Orleans theatre, in the Reenacting communities, and in film. I am always learning and growing as an artist and as a woman, and I look forward to seeing my work in ten years; who knows where I’ll be or what I’ll be up to! My next move is out to Los Angeles, to work in film and beg Colleen Atwood to hire me . . . .
Keep your fingers crossed for me; it’s California of bust in 2011!
