What got you into cosplay?
When I went to my first convention, Ushicon 2004 I really enjoyed seeing all the cosplays and wanted to take part in it.
What was your first costume and why?
Edward from Cowboy Bebop. I was a beginner and basically I needed something easy and recognizable to do. Plus I already had an orange wig.
What is your favorite costume and why?
My favorites always change, depending on what I'm into and currently enjoying at the moment.
My current favorites would have to be Athrun Zala, Draco Malfoy, and Princess Azula. I love these characters and the cosplays are wicked fun.
Do you have a dream costume you'd like to make?
I always change my mind on who I want to cosplay next, but I currently want to make all different versions of Azula from Avatar.
I also wish to make all different versions of Athrun, from ZAFT to ORB military. He's one of my ultimate favorite characters and I want to cosplay all his outfits. XD
What has been your most memorable cosplay experience?
There are to many to pick just one, but I can list some highlights.
Being Edward Elric (FMA) in Cosplay Human Chess at Vericon and becoming a queen to get checkmate.
Being in Cosplay Chess again next year and being an attention whore as well as breaking someones gun....by accident. Oops?
Six Flags cosplay gathering. It was just pure crack.
AnimeNEXT 2005 was just a joy of a convention. And that was where we composed our Naruto Twister pic which won 3rd place in the cosplay.com weekly themed photo contest. I was Hyuuga Neji.
Do you participate in masquerades?
I have participated in 2 and won a Judges Award for one. I'm not really into them, the only ones I did were for friends.
What was your best masquerade experience?
Definately at AnimeNEXT. It was a fun time with friends and we got a Judges award out of it.
Have you won any awards for your costumes?
I don't compete in many costume contests because I create my cosplays for fun rather than competition.
I did however enter Hall Costume for Manganext 07 to see what would happen and I got I walked away with a Coordinators Award for Athrun Zala (Gundam Seed) and Photographer's Award for Pope Alessandros with my Trinity Blood group.
Tell us a little about yourself
I'm currently working and taking online classes for Veterinary Technician. My dream job is to work for the ASPCA. For now, I'm just having fun with my cosplay projects.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
I'm currently the Director of Registration for Anime Boston. It's a really fun and rewarding position to be able to help out a convention I love and see all the work that gets put into these events.
I've also done Panels Programming Manager for AB in the past. I am also the Registration Manager for the Providence Anime Conference.
