I attended my very first convention in 2012. I went for the vendors and panels, but got drawn to all the amazing costumes around me. I knew that I had to try it. The next year I made a costume from any materials I had around the house. I used an old sweater, hot glue, sticks and paint. And I loved it. That was the moment I knew I was in it for the long haul. My ultimate goal was to one day participate in an international cosplay competition, representing Canada. In 2014, I started competing in cosplay competitions. By the time I was 16, I reached the Masters Division in cosplay competitions. Ever since I have been competing as well as judging many cosplay events in Alberta, Canada.
At the age of 19, I accomplished my goal of completeing the Canadian Qualifier at Otafest in 2019. We would be representing Canada in the international event of Clara Cow's Cosplay Cup in Rotterdam, NL. We were able to complete this in 2022 after the world opened up to travel again. In the meantime, during 2021, I was able to get my first international appearance during the Dreamhack Online Competition, being the only person selected in the finals from North America.
Since then, I have been able to make appearances all over the world through competitions such as World Cosplay Summit and Masters of Cosplay. My next international event will be representing Canada with my partner CNR Cosplay in Japan at the World Cosplay Summit Finales in 2026.
Besides cosplay, I work in the veterinary industry and as Canine and Feline Rehabilitation therapist. This includes helping animals recover after surgeries and long term conditions. I also have a lovely chestnut thoroughbred mare named Monaco.
I graduated in 2024 with 2 Bachelors in Natural Science and Education. I have always been passionate about science, especially genetics and zoology of invertebrates. I love to talk about cosplay, but if you bring up how genetic methylation works, get ready for a 15 minute rant!
My plan for the future is to continue my cosplay journey, and trying to continuously level up my craft. I hope in my upcoming years of cosplay to do more for the community, giving more opportunities for other cosplayers to learn what I have discovered in my craft.
