What is her Fangirl interest?
I am an equal opportunity nerd. I started with Star Wars at a young age and my parents read The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings to me when I was in elementary school. I also love Star Trek, Harry Potter, Doctor Who, Disney, Battlestar Galactica, Game of Thrones and Firefly. Really anything Sci-Fi or fantasy.
Why did you decide to shine the spotlight on this Fangirl?
Because you posted a video about needing more Fangirls.
How does this Fangirl express her fandom?
I own an extensive collection of geek tees and 35 costumes that I made myself. I use these costumes to make kids smile as a part of Jedi OKC a local fan group that supports charities for children. We make appearances at the Down Syndrome and Autism walks, local parades, events for victimized children and we are constantly raising money for a local mental health center for children. My 8-year old son dresses up in costumes I have made him and participates in the events with me. I also crochet hats that are inspired by my favorite characters and randoms.
What is her favorite Fangirl item that she cannot live without?
My sewing machine so that I can keep making more costumes.
