How it all started...

Upon graduating High School in 2019, I had absolutely no clue what I wanted to do with my life. I knew that going to a traditional college wasn't right for me, and that I wanted to do something in the creative industry. I was the kid that took as many art classes as possible, brought a sketchbook everywhere for fun, and Halloween was the only time I dressed to impress. My mom knew how much I enjoyed creating art with makeup and had found VAMP, the Vocational Academy of Makeup and Prosthetics. We booked a tour and immediately knew I was in the right place!

​

I completed both artistry programs and became certified in Beauty Makeup Artistry and Modern Effects Makeup Artistry in 2019 & 2020. My professional freelance journey hasn't been easy, but it's definitely been worth it! I truly enjoy what I do, and I'm so lucky to call myself an artist. My younger self would be SO happy to know she gets to create art and make people look pretty!

​

I now reside in Brevard County, FL, with my husband, Christian, and our two pups, Loki and Koda. We enjoy camping, hanging out with friends and family, hosting game nights, and finding local fun things to do. We're both homebodies, so we prefer to invite people to the house than go out and socialize at busy places. You'll usually find me tending to my abundance of houseplants while my husband shows off his multicolor disco lights before he beats us all at Mario Kart or Uno!

I prefer to be outside keeping an eye on the squirrels and sniffing everything in sight.
