Summary

I studied for three years in all aspects of costume design and technology while still in high school, working with industry professionals in the theater that Broadway Across America performs at in leadership positions. After graduation, I worked at Kings Island Amusement Park as a costumer before moving to Florida to work at Walt Disney World as a coordinator in their sewing department. I currently work seasonally as the costuming manager at Gaylord Palms Resort for their ICE season, and part time at Collins Creative, specializing in theme park and cruise line costumes. Detail-oriented individual with exceptional communication and project management skills. Proven ability to handle multiple tasks effectively and efficiently in fast-paced environments.
