I hail from the Sunshine State of California, where I was born and raised. My childhood and young adult life was filled with creative explorations and global adventures thanks to my loving parents and supportive family. After completing my undergraduate foundation, I moved north to Oregon and completed my degree in technical costume for theatre.

​

I stayed in Oregon, living in the Rogue Valley and working as a professional costume maker and sewist. In 2024, I decided to continue my formal education in costume work by moving to England to attain a master's degree in Historical Costume. While as a full-time student at Arts University Bournemouth, I taught a master's level workshop in leatherwork and have acted as an advisor on the subject to others in my cohort.
