Taylor Tedesco Email & Phone Number

I earned my MA in Theatre and Performance from the University at Buffalo on February 1, 2022. I graduated from Villa Maria College with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fashion Merchandising in May 2019. I am currently a Quality Assurance Associate at New Era Cap, Inc. I was an Adjunct Professor at Villa Maria College in the Fashion Design and Merchandising Program for 2 years. At Villa, I have also taught Acting I and Directing for Film. I am a theatre enthusiast. I perform on the stage as well as costuming. My additional fashion experience includes attending MAGIC in Las Vegas in February 2018 and fashion show production with Villa Maria College, Queen City Fashion Week, Color the Runway, and Buffalo Spree Spring Style. In terms of my theatre experience, I performed in various community theatre productions and attended Master Classes in all aspects of theatre at Shea's Performing Arts Center. I served as Costume Director for Theatre in the Mist in Niagara Falls, NY and as Wardrobe Apprentice for Shakespeare in Delaware Park in Buffalo, NY. For my Master's Thesis Project, I designed costumes for Niagara Street Elementary School in Niagara Falls and researched how fashion merchandising skills translate into costume design. The skills that I have obtained through my experiences include teamwork, leadership, goal orientation, detail orientation, problem solving, and collaboration.
