She later received a Master of Arts in visual culture, with an emphasis in costume history, from New York University.[1]

Costuming

Harvey spent several years working for the costume department of the Renaissance Entertainment Corporation on events held in California and Wisconsin. She also spent a year and three months working in the Creative Costume Department of Walt Disney World in Orlando (Lake Buena Vista), Florida.
