As a mom, most of my time is spent doing things for my kids… homeschooling, cooking, cleaning, bringing them to CYT, soccer, basketball, dance, friends’ houses… you get the idea. ;) But a few years ago a friend of mine introduced me to High Fitness dance aerobics, and it became my one hour each week that was just for me. I instantly loved it. In fact, I loved it so much that I got certified to teach it! It is so much fun to let loose and dance and sweat for an hour, and I can’t wait to share it with the CYT community.

Costume Design is so much more to me than putting clothes on bodies; it is my art of storytelling. Through it I consider character and movement, mood and setting to bring concept to life, convey resonating truths, and create understanding. We can often forget about the beauty of this life - costumes remind us. We get so busy we forget to laugh - costumes stimulate us. We all want to feel alive - costumes pull at our heartstrings. There is joy to be possessed, laughter to be had, empathy to be embraced. My goal in life is to tell a meaningful story filled with Truth, time and time again. Paint and fabrics are my words. A love of humanity is my storyline. Costuming with a Purpose is my title.
