I hail from Mishicot, WI, and received my BFA in Theatre (emphasis in Costume Technology) from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Peck School of the Arts.

​

I worked as a First Hand for the University of Delaware's professional theatre company U-Del REP for four years, and have spent five seasons as a Draper for the Great River Shakespeare Festival in Winona, MN.

​

I have received my MFA in Theatre (emphasis Costume Technology) from the Pennsylvania State University, where I had the pleasure of draping/patterning twelve costume pieces for Centre Stage productions, as well as stitching numerous others. The education I have gained here, as well as the close contacts I have obtained, have helped me grow so much as an artist, and I am ever grateful.
