Check out the services I offer, and feel free to reach out if you'd like me to guest at a convention near you! ​Whether you need a guest for your event, a costume contest judge, or a knowledgeable subject matter expert, I’ve got you covered!
​
Judging Cosplay Contests:
​
With my experience in both craftsmanship and teaching, I can bring plenty of knowledge to your costume contest! I specialize in judging craftsmanship competitions and have won a few myself. I always aim to give participants the best experience while making sure the event runs smoothly.
Past events I've judged: Magfest, Tekko, AwesomeCon Anime Boston, FanExpo Cleveland, Drawncon, ConnectiCon
​
​
Panels and Workshops:
​
Having worked full time as an educator for the past 8 years, I can offer a wide range of panels for
all levels of skill groups. I've taught as young as kindergarten all the way up to college and
graduate level courses.
I can bring my expertise to your event and offer a wide variety of panels and workshops (See below for most current offerings).
