Kirsten is 15 years old and has been cosplaying for 3 years. At 15 she is the co-founder of CosAbilities, a soon to be non-profit that seeks to empower individuals through cosplay. Her inspiration for CosAbilities came from bible verse John 9:1-4. Her favorite part about cosplay and CosAbilities is building confidence and enthusiasm while empowering disabled individuals as cosplay allows everyone involved to "See and share in your joy and join in your creative passion together as a community experience".
