“I want to do that!” I exclaimed one day, blissfully unaware that I might be one of zero Mrs. Clauses on the island of Manhattan.

At my first gig in 2017, I shouted, “Ho ho ho!” with too much enthusiasm. I loved the experience so much I couldn’t sleep. In 2018, I graduated from Charles W. Howard Santa Claus School in Midland, Michigan. Considered the “Harvard of Christmas education.”

Since then, I have performed for Bill and Hillary Clinton, State Senator Robert Jackson, and former Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer. And I have been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The New York Post, and The Times of London.

In 2020, I became a NYC Sightseeing Guide. I also became the founding president of the New York City Santas, the city’s first chapter of the International Brotherhood of Real Bearded Santas (IBRBS). In 2022, I became a Mrs. Claus at Nordstrom. In 2023, I worked for M.M. LaFleur, a women’s boutique.

Today, I provide the following offerings solo or with Santa:

  • Host parties and tree lightings.

  • Attract attention and photo opps for store events.

  • Sing and dance for interactive engagement.

  • Television appearances.

  • Community events around crafts, books, and songs.

  • Lead 30-minute historical discussions.

  • Record content for branded social media.

Mrs. Claus may not earn as much as Santa! She bakes cookies and more.
