Biography

My calling as a make-up artist came as a young girl. I was always fascinated with watching my mom meticulously apply her make-up. Because of my early fascination, my mom supplied me with my first official canvas, a life sized Barbie head.

When Barbie was utilized to the fullest I then moved on to more lively subjects – my brothers! They served me well until my mom blessed me with a sister.

During high school and college my good- natured friends were my subjects. Along the way a career in make-up artistry developed.

After college graduation, I worked in the fashion field and landed a job as a visual display artist for Banana Republic and also Old Navy. My models were not very lively but they looked good. I liked the work but still had a desire to do make up.

MAC cosmetics hired me to be a make-up artist and I left the world of visual display and started working on real people instead of mannequins.

I later started freelancing which led me to sign with Ford Modeling Agency. While with Ford I worked with many corporate clients using models for commercial shoots, photo shoots, comp cards and film. I have been privileged to work with well-known photographers from Cleveland, Chicago and New York.

I work with brides for their big day, and with anyone that has the desire to look their best. I enjoy making people look good and making them happy while working at a career I love.
