What I Do at SSU

I have been a performing arts/costume technician at SSU since 1996. I help dress and create costumes for our wonderful performers so that they can present themselves in character befit for their roles. I design, stitch, cut and dye costumes as well as help manage the necessary flow of work that it takes for a premier costume shop such as ours to function at a high level. I also help supervise the students that work in the shop. I enjoy working collaboratively with all of our gifted faculty, staff and students. It's a joy to watch the magic of theatre come alive on the stage.

My Bio

Maureen earned a BA in Spanish from Sonoma State University in 2006. She coordinated as well as designed costumes for "Songs of Lorca-Cantares-Flamenco Variations" that was recently performed on stage sponsored by the Language Department. She anticipates being involved in future productions with the Language Department adding to the richness of Sonoma State's School of Performing Arts.
