I taught myself to sew when I was a teenager using library books. My career started as a stitcher in the costume shop at Bennington College, a job I managed to get with no formal training behind me. I graduated with a degree in music, but I realized the only thing I liked about university was working in the costume shop, so upon graduation I called every theater in Los Angeles until someone gave me a job. In 2024 I went fully freelance as a costumer and wardrobe dresser and now I’ve worked at nearly every theater in LA, several prestigious companies in the USA, and even one in the UK.
