Instructor Bio

I began my makeup journey at 16 and started working professionally at 18, long before social media became a marketing tool. I spent years working a full-time job during the week while building my portfolio on weekends, often unpaid, relying on word of mouth and referrals to grow my clientele.

After completing esthetician school and gaining industry experience, including working for MAC Cosmetics, my passion for makeup continued to grow. In 2019, after 12 years in an office career, I took a leap of faith and pursued makeup artistry full time.

Since then, I’ve opened my own studio in Dallas, built a team of artists, and trained many from the ground up—not only in makeup technique, but also in professionalism, branding, marketing, and building a sustainable career.

This course was created to share everything I’ve learned so artists can gain confidence, develop real skills, and grow their careers faster with the right guidance.
