Meet the Mascot Masterminds

In April of 2010, I started a community originally known as Mascot Madness as I began to see the Celebrity Mascot Games now known as Mascot Games. I thought it would be awesome to be able to put mascots in the spotlight by covering the events they attend and allowing fans to interact with them! Throughout the time I have done this. In 2012 I announced Mascot Madness is being rebranded as Mascot Insider to enable us to have a unique name never used in Mascot World before. And now, thanks to my excellent crew, we offer fans to go behind the suit and see why mascots are fantastic for what they do.
Favorite Mascot: Fin from the Vancover Canucks.

After learning about sports mascots at an early age, I started drawing them for fun. This led me to starting my main @MascotDrawings page on Instagram. I now work with teams and amazing performers for mascot costume design and promo item illustrations while also being a performer on the side. I am also the designer for the Orlando Mascot Games as I create illustrations for posters, merchandise, and video boards while helping Mascot Insider with their yearly event coverage!

I have been interested in videography since a young age, getting my first camera at age 16. I met Justin in 2010, and started working for Mascot Insider in 2011. Other than filming for Mascot Insider, I have also worked for other Orlando-area websites, first starting with MouseTimes in 2004, and founding Central Florida Sights & Sounds in 2014. I have filmed videos at The Mascot Games, IAAPA, Disney Parks, Universal Parks and Resorts, and the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex.

Journalism was always my life’s passion. I got my degree in Journalism and Mass Communications from The University of South Carolina in 2002 and started my journalism career at as a copy editor and page designer at The Island Packet in Hilton Head, S.C. I moved to Athens, Ga., and worked at The Athens Banner-Herald from 2005 until 2011, and won a page design award in 2010. When I moved to Orlando in 2012, I thought I left journalism behind me, but soon began working as a freelancer. In 2014 when I met John Corigliano, I not only found a soulmate, but also someone who loved to document the world he loved. I met Justin not long after meeting John, and was invited to come to IAAPA in 2016 to help with the interviews and that was my first introduction to the world of Mascots.
