Mastering the art of makeup has been an incredibly joyous experience. I’ve had the pleasure of making men and women feel more confident and beautiful over the last 13 years. Achieving symmetry and a look of glowing vitality for my clients is my goal.

My start in makeup began in 2002 when I started doing makeup for my cheer and dance team for our shows and competitions. I quickly became the school’s makeup artist taking clients for school formals as well. It wasn’t until I became a Golden State Warrior Dancer that I met Nars’ very own Janice Daoud who inspired me to become a makeup artist professionally. I briefly assisted her after completing the Cosmetology program at Elite Progressive school of cosmetology in 2009.

After gaining experience in the Bay Area on set, I moved to New York where I immediately teamed up with Loren Wohl doing makeup for various clients- this included editorial, headshots and commercial. After freelancing for some time I decided to place myself in a salon setting.

Elizabeth Arden marked a turning point in my evolution as an artist. At the 5th Avenue salon I worked often with mature skin and provided services for weddings and events at the Plaza and Waldorf Astoria Hotel. While at Elizabeth Arden I took a particular interest in focusing on balancing symmetry and giving “face lifts” with makeup techniques- to do this, I took a less conventional approach to makeup application. And for this, I specialize in the no makeup makeup look.

After having my first son, I left EA to freelance again and started teaching at Nina MUA. Eventually, I had to get back to what I enjoy about makeup application and that’s creative freedom. For that I joined Nomi Agency and partnered with Adrienne at Federico Salon where I provided makeup for clients in all of New York’s high end hotels for weddings, parties and New York Social Events. I am best known for my work ethic and intuitive makeup applications that I can boast, always meets my client’s needs. It is my goal to make every client feel beautiful while transforming them into a recognizable version of themselves. To truly be beautiful- you must feel it!

I’m on Model Mayhem bc it’s where I got my start 10 years ago and I’m looking for new collaborations and opportunities to do something fun! I’m in it for the art.
