I am a Hair, Makeup, and Costume designer, as well as a BA graduate from California State University, Fullerton’s (CSUF) Department of Theatre and Dance. I first found my passion for Hair/Makeup and Costuming in drag which continues to be one of my biggest inspirations. It was during my time at CSUF where I honed my craft with classes and being a lead designer for six main stage productions. I currently work in the Costuming Department at the Disneyland Resort.
