The Story
After years of dreaming, I decided to go all in and took the giant leap of leaving my small town and headed straight to Hollywood. I knew if I wanted to make it big, I had to be trained by the best. For me, that meant attending the prestigious Toni & Guy Academy in Dallas, TX, and later pursuing further education at Makeup Designory in Burbank, CA. Against all odds and despite some discouragement, I embraced the challenge wholeheartedly. >

I began networking during my time at makeup school and soon started working on smaller features right after graduation. Through relentless determination and building connections within the industry, I found myself working consistently on various productions.
Fast forward to October 2008, a pivotal moment in my career when I earned my union credits and became a proud member of Local 706 Makeup Artist and Hair Stylists Guild. Being part of this esteemed guild allowed me to rub shoulders with incredibly talented artists and learn from some of the best in the business.> To read the full story click here
My journey eventually led me to my very first full-time position as a Key on the feature film called "Real Steel." Balancing trailer duties and running background on set was challenging, but it made me stronger and more resilient than ever before.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working on noteworthy projects such as "Parenthood," "American Horror Story," "Blunt Talk," "American Crime Story," "The Politician," and "The Prom." My dedication to excellence has earned me seven Emmy nominations and four wins. Additionally, I've received four MUAHS nominations and one win.
One of my key differentiators lies in the way I analyze hair. The foundational skills I gained from Toni & Guy taught me the importance of taking my time, studying each individual's unique characteristics, and truly understanding their needs. This knowledge has been invaluable in my ability to manipulate and sculpt hair into place, ensuring it stands up flawlessly on set.
shared knowledge
I'm now at a place in my life where I want to start sharing my knowledge and wisdom with union and non-union peers outside of my team. And with those that desire to work in Hollywood.

to have been able to work with some of the top artists in the business.

I owe so much of my growth and success to those that have given me the opportunity to enhance my craft. I’ve learned so much over the years from working on amazing sets such as the ones below. The exciting challenges that come with working in the film and television industry have only pushed me to be the best I can be. I wouldn’t change these memories for anything in the world!
Thank you to the phenomenal teams and crew members that have made these bodies of work possible. I wouldn’t be anywhere without the support and collaboration I’ve been so lucky to be a part of. Here’s to many more chances to tell powerful and entertaining stories.
