About me

I am a HOD or deputy Wardrobe mistress looking for work on Tour or in London. I have been working in wardrobe for five years and have done a number of roles within said department. I have been a dresser, an assistant, deputy and Head of Wardrobe/wardrobe manager on a number of shows.

After graduating from university I left with a full knowledge and practical ability to alter and maintain costumes, source and do any necessary upkeep needed when working on, or putting a show together. I have used these skills many a time within various shows I have worked on.

Having worked on fast paced shows and tours I have developed a great ability to think on the spot when problem solving, from costumes splitting and having to do quick fixes to get the actor and costume back on stage to dealing with an irate actor who has come off the stage angry or upset, keeping them calm and getting them back on to the stage to carry on. I prise myself on the ability to stay calm, collected, professional and ever caring and compassionate when working under pressure. This does not only apply to the actors I am working with, but the entire company. I understand the importance of working as a close nit team and am proud of the fact that I have a strong support ethic for everyone in the company I am working with. It is in my nature to be caring and understanding and help everyone I can. This clearly shows in my loving nature at work and my ability to strive to be the best I can be at work and to help others do the same. Working within all size departments and companies has really allowed me to thrive in a dedicated production team as I myself am extremely dedicated and committed to everything I do.
