Fun fact about me! Somewhere in my spare time, I am a professional cheerleader; it’s my passion, and I carry that passion through to coaching. I coach amazing athletes and kids of all ages, pushing them to be their best selves, to work hard, take pride in what they bring to the table, find something they’re passionate about, and fight hard to make their dreams come true.

I specialize in what I love to call editorial skinistry. My background in editorial makeup for photo shoots, brand campaigns, and music videos helped me master my glowy complexion work for the everyday person.

Social media is the obvious answer but I really love to pay attention to makeup brands’ ads and product releases. When hundreds of brand are creating similar products, or have a similar aesthetic in their commercials, that’s how you know it’s on trend and selling.

I got into makeup on accident! I was a tomboy on a swim team growing up and caught a really bad sunburn that got infected, then scarred. I bought a BB Cream to cover it up, which of course would never work. Next thing you know i was buying and trying more makeup, and the rest is history!

Something about me is that I recently became a mom! It has already been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I look forward to sharing the ups and downs of motherhood while running a business with my audience.
