Penelope is a New York based freelance stitcher and costume technician.

Though her interest in theatre began with performance, Penelope quickly grew to love the life behind the scenes when she was assigned a production position as a freshman in college. She spent the next three years working in the shop learning everything she could about costume construction and graduated Magna Cum Laude with her B.F.A. in Theatre Performance from Belmont University.

Since moving to New York City, she has had the pleasure of working for The Public Theater, La MaMa ETC, New York Theatre Workshop, and Sands College of Performing Arts. Penelope believes that practical experience is the best way to learn. She uses each new opportunity to apply her existing skill set and takes every chance she gets to grow and nourish new ones.

Born and raised in Switzerland, and having lived in Poland and France, Penelope grew up in a trilingual household and speaks fluent English, Italian, and French.

She carries her multicultural background across workspaces as an integral part to her approach to life and art.
