No, seriously! In my 15 years of experience hosting panels, I’ve participated in nearly 90 panels at conventions all across the United States, from Anime Expo to Otakon.
My specialties include masquerades/cosplay competitions (introductory, performance, build books) and LGBTQIA+ issues in the con/cosplay community.
