I work as a hair and makeup artist primarily in the entertainment industry in Hollywood. My passion lies in helping people express themselves through unique and character-driven looks.

My work helps clients feel confident and authentically embody the persona they wish to portray, which is especially important in the entertainment industry where appearance plays a vital role.

When they see the finished work in the mirror, all their feelings can be seen on their face.

What has been one of your biggest struggle building your business and how did you deal with it?

One of my biggest struggles in building my business was dealing with cultural differences from the culture I grew up in. I realized that I needed to first understand the different approaches and ways of expression before I could communicate effectively.

What was your favorite music artist and athlete growing up?

I’ve always enjoyed music classes, and from a young age, I was really drawn to composers like Mozart, Vivaldi, and Debussy. Their music inspired me and sparked my passion for the arts early on.
