Additional information:
I have been working in the Costume Industry for over three and a half years. I enjoy touring as it allows me to work in an environment that allows me to use the full extent of the skills I have acquired. I am open to any roles within a show from production to mistress or deputy.

On every show that I have worked on I have done pre-production which involved fittings, alterations, sourcing of costumes and set up for the smooth running of the show. I have also spent a a few weeks prior to tours commencing working in the UK Productions costume work shop helping prepare the costumes. This has given me an understanding of the environment that is required to achieve a productive outcome.
