I started my career as a Makeup Artist long before I officially pursued it---watching counter artists, asking questions, and experimenting on friends until I became the one people turned to for a polished look. Moving to California solidified my path, where I built my foundation in bridal makeup and editorial shoots that allowed me to fully express my creativity.

Those early years taught me more than artistry. As a self-taught artist working with the bare essentials of a starter kit, I learned how to mix, adapt and find creative ways to achieve the perfect look -- turning three foundation shades and a handful of lipsticks into endless possibilities. That resourcefulness not only sharpened my artistry but also gave me a deep understanding of products, technique and the little details that make someone feel their most confident.

Over time, my career evolved beyond artistry. Today, I stand at the intersection of makeup and business, creating content, building digital resources, and teaching beauty professionals how to succeed--whether that's mastering set etiquette in TV and film or building a thriving freelance business.

What inspires me most is seeing the reaction when a client looks in the mirror, or when another artist gains clarity and confidence in something I've taught them. For me, makeup is more than beauty--it's storytelling, empowerment, and connection.
