ABOUT Amy

In a few words, I am - a creative, an explorer, a costumer, a spouse, and a parent.

​

If you want more than a few words - keep reading!

​

I grew up doing children’s theatre in Arkansas and always assumed I’d go into acting. While getting my B.A. in theatre I quickly realized that technical theatre was my better skill set and preference. During my time as an undergraduate student, I was most often found in the makeup room or the costume shop. After graduation, I accepted a position to teach high school theatre part-time while also working part-time as the Assistant Costume Designer for my undergraduate program.

​

After a few years of doing both jobs, I stepped away from the stage and co-founded three new human beings. Being a stay-at-home parent was a joy but I missed creating costumes for the stage. So, with the encouragement of my husband, I returned to school to obtain my MFA and get back into the theatre world!

​

I’m an MFA Costume Design and Technology candidate at Kent State University, scheduled to graduate in Spring ‘25.
