I previously worked at Disneyland for several years, where I did costuming for their parades and shows, like Paint the Night, Magic Happens, Fantasmic etc. Before that I worked as a stage manager at VCHS. I love being a part of live theater in all its many forms, and I love being able to facilitate a safe and fun environment for creative exploration.
