Theatre Major, Award-Winning Costume Designer

Personally, I like to think the costume designer is one of the most important people in theatre — without us they’d all be naked.

One of my most exciting roles since college? The year I was a teacher in Okayama, Japan, where I worked with students ranging from a few months old to 18 and their parents.

I just directed my third youth musical at Oxon Hill Church in Maryland.

My job as an educator with Fairfax County Public Schools is a dream come true.

Next? I'll start work on a master’s in special education and ESOL.
