About Me

My love for the fashion industry started at the very young age of ten. I decided early on that I my passion was to help people transform their look into something beautiful. So, how does a ten year old do that?? With obvious limitations at such a young age, I struggled to find my place. But with the advice and support of a loving father, I soon found my way into the world of dance. A little bit of training and a whole lot of raw talent soon lead me to performing in dance recitals. Such a great start for where I was headed!  At the time, I was doing my own hair and makeup and also helping the other girls with theirs too. I remember thinking how ridiculous everybody’s makeup looked...including mine!! As I entered high school, I continued to follow my passions and excelled on the dance team and drill team. By this time in my life I had built a reputation as the go-to person for makeup and hair. My confidence and talent with fashion was leading me towards a path that would eventually become a career. Upon graduation I soon decided to go to cosmetology school.

Since graduating school in 1994, I’ve been involved in several facets of cosmetology. My favorite thing to do is makeovers. I have a very creative approach with hair and specialize in updos and fashion fantasy styles. Another area that I have deep knowledge and experience is hair extensions. I’ve been doing them for several years and I have my certification. I really enjoy doing hair extensions because of the dramatic effect that they have when finished. My clients feel and look so good when the hair is finished. I love making a woman feel like a diva!!!!

As a part of makeovers I’ve always been very involved with doing makeup. It wasn’t until recently that I finally decided that in order to take things to the next level I would need to become certified as a makeup artist. After a lot of research I chose Award Studio for Media and Fashion Makeup in LA. What a great experience that was. Not only a great school, but I was trained on several photo shoots with models and actors. While I was there, a lot of the training focused on airbrush, photo shoots, weddings and special effects. Working with photographers both in and out of the studio was very rewarding. This additional training and certification has helped me to better understand the expectations of the person behind the camera as well as formalize the makeup work that I had already been doing for years.
