What is your persona or if you don’t have one, what is your favorite time period within the SCA and what made you choose this persona?
I don’t really have a nailed down persona. I really enjoy earlier period Slavic and Norse cultures along with Middle Eastern. I mostly pick what to get into based on the clothing they would have worn.
What goals do you have within the SCA?
To keep moving forward. I want to keep making my outfits and accessories more period, to find new ways to keep serving the kingdom and to keep improving my art form.

What is your biggest passion in the SCA?
I divide my time between service and art.
Service– My passion is running events. I first met my Peer when she convinced me to co-autocrat Middle East Feast. I had never even been to the event but ended up having a great time learning what it takes to run events. Since then I have autocrated several Baronial and Kingdom events. My next adventure is to try and start up a mentoring program in the barony for people who would like to learn how to run an event.

What is your biggest passion?-continued
Art– I found stained glass through a crazy plan the students in my group of friends came up with after Morgan and Elizabeth’s first reign. It didn’t fully take form until they won a second time. At their step down we presented them with a large piece to celebrate their reigns that now is installed over their front door at home. I haven’t stopped since and continue to learn new techniques and methods.

What is your favorite SCA memory?
So many…When Connor received his White Scarf. I literally chucked Tinka’s banner at her while we were getting ready for her procession to be made a Laurel when they called him.
Is there something in the SCA that you would like to try?
I have thought about possibly running for B&B at some point but am not sure if that will be in the cards for me.
Do you have any group or household affiliations?
Nothing official. I tend to camp with my Peer.

If you could wake up with an SCA talent you do not already have, what would it be?
I wish I could actually understand sewing. I can put two pieces of fabric together but typically need lots of supervision while doing so.
What advice would you give a new SCA person?
Try literally everything. Don’t pigeonhole yourself into any one activity or thing. Giving every possible art, activity, service a try at some point. You never know what might become a passion for you.
What keeps you in the SCA?
The people. I have had the great good fortune of finding some of the most amazing people through this game of ours. They constantly make me want to be a better person, to work harder, to keep pushing forward.
