What got you into cosplay?
Being a total nerd really. I was a big theater geek in high school, and always loved the whole acting/costuming craziness. Granted my sewing skills are atrocious, so I usually have to make puppy dog eyes at my girlfriend to get things done. I have fun with it though
What was your first costume and why?
Ryoga Hibiki from Ranma 1/2
Ranma 1/2 has been, and will most likely always be my favorite anime series. Ryoga has been my favorite character since I can relate to him on so many levels. It really felt natural to put the costume together, and it was a lot of fun to do.
What is your favorite costume and why?
So far? Probably Tobi. The reactions people gave when they saw me were the best. I also was totally warranted in being a spazz, and it only helped add to the authenticity. People really seemed to like it, and part of the fun was the fact that I couldn't see a darn thing. I didn't ever bump into someone, but man was it hard to talk with that mask on. This one is totally gonna stay with me for a looong time
Tell us a little about yourself
Well, I am a graduate from the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point, with a bachelor's degree in chemistry. I currently am a graduate student at the University of Minnesota, with the goal of getting my PhD in chemistry, and maybe becoming a professor. It's totally stressful, and I want to pull my hair out, but I'm surviving by the skin of my teeth at the moment. I'm also a teaching assistant for Organic Chemistry and teach a lab course for it. Teaching is really rewarding, and it is really fun to interact with the students.
My hobbies in the rare time I have free time is tabletop gaming, rollerblading, swimming, video games, and watching stuff
