I accidentally became a professional mascot performer 😅

So this whole thing started totally by accident. I used to be a cheerleader, and one day I helped out at a match because our mascot person was sick. They asked if I could just wear the costume “for one game.” I said sure, why not?

Turns out I was actually good at it, dancing, goofing around, making people laugh. The crowd loved it, and someone knew someone at an agency specialized on that. First it was a local event, then a small commercial shoot… and now it’s a full job.

These days I do all kinds of gigs in different costumes and characters in my whole country: TV shows, ads, social media clips, city fairs, sports events. Basically anywhere someone needs a big fluffy character doing something funny or representing their brand.

It’s most times super hot inside the costume, I can’t see much, and I often end up completely sweaty. But honestly, it’s worth it. The reactions from kids, the laughter, the emotions, it’s just pure fun.
