Makeup Artist
My days begin with stillness—yoga, prayer, and journaling—so I can show up grounded and full for my clients. Whether I’m doing makeup for a wedding, a photoshoot, or a corporate event, I tailor each look to meet their needs. While doing makeup, I strive to bring calm to high-pressure moments and joy to everyday ones. Because I'm a freelancer, I get to spend a lot of time with my family on days that I don't have a job booked.
