material culture and historical consulting

I am a trained and experienced wardrobe technician, on the referral lists for both IATSE 680 and 849 (stage and film), and have had the pleasure over the years of combining my passion for dance, film, and theatre costume with my equal passion for history.

I am available to consult on films, photo shoots, books, and other media set in historical periods ranging from Ancient Egypt to the late 20th century. 

I have had the privilege of working as Historical Consultant with Historica Canada on two of their recent Heritage Minutes, The Acadian Deportation and The Chloe Cooley Story, which you can see here.
