Skills and Certifications

In high school, I started experimenting with both SFX and beauty makeup. I would mess around with Spirit Halloween makeup and drugstore cosmetics, following Pinterest tutorials and youtube influencers. I even did a few of my friends' prom, homecoming, and halloween makeups. I never thought I could turn one of my hobbies into a career!

​

Following my graduation from Melbourne High School, I explored my interest in makeup application and attended the Vocational Academy of Makeup and Prosthetics in Orlando, FL. I completed the Professional Beauty Makeup Artistry program (300 hours) in 2019 and the Modern Effects Makeup Artistry program (880 hours) in 2020. I've since been working as a  Freelance Makeup Artist, traveling around Florida working for a multitude of clients. Although SFX makeup is so creative and I love working hard to bring those ideas to life, I also have a passion for accentuating natural beauty with professional makeup that lasts all day and makes you feel amazing! 

​

Apart from my career, I like to spend my time making art, hanging with my pups and fiance at home, and spending time with loved ones and friends. Being in the creative industry, I've met all kinds of amazing people that have taught me so many new things and helped shape me into who I am today. I am a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, and happily support and defend trans and LGBTQ+ rights, Black Lives Matter, and Indigenous rights. The makeup industry is a melting pot of creative humans from all walks of life. Makeup has even been used in various cultures' traditions for many, many years, and without those origins, we wouldn't have the beautiful and unique styles and creations that make the industry what it is today. I respect all humans and aim to make sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable in my chair!
