She is known on set as “The Talent Friendly Makeup Artist who Thinks Like An Art Director.” She has an eye for makeup and hair, as well as a fierce style for fashion which they call: A TRIPLE THREAT! Having been a model herself she is not bad to have around either. Makeup comes naturally for this artist who also paints, writes poetry, mixes essential oils, makes beaded jewelry, collects feathers and beautiful people, watches ScarFace regularly and plays the drums. A real all around artist in every sense of the word. Her slogan is simply:

‘I NEED TO WORK FOR YOU AND YOU NEED TO HIRE ME’
’WE HAVE WORK TO DO SO LET’S GET STARTED’
As always, pathscrossing
