currently open for employment/internship

summer 2026

I am now well into my second year at Otterbein University where I am pursuing a BFA in theatre design & technology with a costume focus. An all-around technician with hands-on experience in draping, stitching, wardrobe, and design, I have and continue to take advantage of every opportunity to further develop my skills and hone my craft.

Completing advanced coursework in costume construction, costume design, and costume history ahead of the traditional sequence, I have been entrusted with applicable production assignments as both a stitcher and draper during the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 production seasons.

And, while I have worked extensively with the professional team at Otterbein University both as a costume shop employee and then, over the summer as a wardrobe lead/costume apprentice for Otterbein Summer Theatre's 2025 season, I am eager to take the next step with a faster-paced, build-focused contract beyond my home campus.
