Seamstress on Long Island, New York

I feel so lucky and grateful that I get to do what I love everyday.

I always get asked, "How did you learn how to do this? You're so young!" Truth be told, I never thought that this was what I was going to do as a career, I don't think any one does. Sewing isn't really taught in schools anymore, it's not a "necessary skill" to have in this day and age of fast fashion. My journey began during my college years, where my passion for sewing ignited within the walls of the Kent State University theater department. From altering garments to crafting pieces from scratch for stage productions, I found myself immersed in the world of creativity and craftsmanship. 

After college, my pursuit to a fulfilling career led me to David’s Bridal, where I discovered my love for the wedding industry. As an alterations specialist, I honed my skills and learned the art of perfecting a bridal gown. Despite various job changes over the years, alterations remained a constant in my life. I was working out of the spare bedroom of my parents house traveling to clients homes to do the fittings all while working a full time job. 

My pivotal role as the Operations Manager at high end bridal salon in Manhattan was a transformative experience for me. Working closely with designers, assisting brides find their dream gowns, and managing the overall operations of the store and overseeing the alterations department, I absorbed invaluable insights that shaped me both personally and professionally. Amidst these career milestones, I embarked of my own journey to marriage and motherhood, further solidifying my commitment to creating a fulfilling career path closer to home. 

Not only do I get to work with amazing women to bring their visions to life but I also get a chance to spend more time with my family. Having two young kids its so important to me to be able to attend all of their extra curricular activities.
