BA (Hons) Costume, University of the Arts London (2026)

Costume Trainee, Royal College of Music

I am a costumer now, but I performed in musicals for almost a decade when I was younger. I trained as a singer and pianist during that time, and while I still love to sing and play, I found costume during that time and never looked back. I am interested in historical sewing and corsetry, and I want to pursue a career in costume making and management.

I grew up in Boston, USA, and I came to the UK for university two years ago. I love making up new toast recipes, getting lost in museums, and climbing with my friends.
