I have been a freelance makeup artist in Los Angeles, CA for about year, but I have been doing makeup for 4 years. Throughout my high school career I did proms, theater productions and even a mock DWI accident for drinking and driving awareness.
I went to college at the University of Buffalo to study Public Relations but in December of 2007, I decided I was going to follow my heart and attend makeup school. In August of 2008 I moved out to Los Angeles, CA to attend Cinema Makeup School. I graduated from Cinema in January 2009 with a Masters Certification in Beauty, High Fashion, Film and Television, Character Makeup, Prosthetics, and Special FX.
Throughout my education I had the opportunity to work high fashion runway shows, dance competitions, red carpet events throughout Hollywood, and promotional photoshoots for clothing lines. I also did an editorial photoshoot for www.trashthedress.com in November 2008.
Since graduating, I have continued to work in the television and fashion industry. I have had the opportunity to do makeup for Darnell Martin and Sofia Sondervan, the director/writer and producer of the movie Cadillac Records, for the 2009 Golden Globe Awards. I have been given the pleasure of working with designers from Michael Benz and Parris Harris, to Kid Dangerous.
I am available throughout the Los Angeles and Hollywood area, as well as New York and New Jersey. I like being creative and having the opportunity to travel and work with new and interesting people.
