About Me

I’ve had a lifelong love of movies that lead me to attain my degree in Radio Television and Film, graduating with honors from the University of Texas in Austin. Never believing in time wasted, I began working in the makeup industry while going to school full time. What started off as a summer job, quickly grew into a passion and I began learning as much as I could about all aspects of makeup. While working with cosmetic lines, I began assisting other makeup artists for film shoots and received training in a variety of makeup techniques.

My time working in retail cosmetics served me well when I transitioned to working on sets and photo shoots, as I was able to work with a wide array of skin types and tones and able to do makeup with great skill and speed. This along with my sunny disposition quickly became what I was know for, and why I was repeatedly called back by productions for work.

My work has been seen in numerous festivals such as South By South West, Louisiana Film Prize, Fantastic Fest, Deep in the Heart Festival, Hollyshorts Festival, iHorror Awards, along with others. In addition, my work has been shown on projects on TV networks HBOMax, ID, Lifetime, TLC, Up!, and Shorts HD.

I am available for work locally in both Los Angeles and Austin, and I love traveling to new places to work as well. Please contact me for questions of work, rates, and availability.

Skills:

Beauty makeup, editorial makeup, airbrush, tattoo cover up, character makeups, fake tattoo application, old age makeup, trauma makeup, beard and fake hair application, prosthetic transfers, prosthetics, foam latex, sculpting/molding, script breakdowns, set continuity.
