Originally, growing up in Sydney and spending many years on holidays in Queensland, I decided the Sunshine Coast would be a great place to move to. My mum was a fashion model in Sydney and therefore, I have been around the industry for a long time.

At the age of sixteen, I was given the opportunity to move overseas to Sweden as an exchange student. While I was in Sweden, I did some further traveling around Europe & Scandinavia. After a short return to Australia, I then backpacked through Africa, Egypt & Ireland. As one could imagine, I have learnt a lot from other cultures and believe the key to success (in anything) is to accept the people and places around you.

I am a qualified Remedial Massage Therapist and had worked for many years in clinics & salons. Before moving to Queensland, I owned and operated my own clinic in Sydney. After working on many athletes for the Olympic games I decided to pursue my love of Makeup.

After completing a Diploma in Cinemagraphic Makeup Artistry from QICMA (QLD Institute of Cinemagraphic Makeup Artistry), and attending various other courses and workshops, including "Advanced Airbrush Techniques", I am fully qualified and enjoy working in Makeup Beauty, Commercial Photography, film & television, Runway, Stage and Special FX.

I enjoy helping others, and it has been a natural progression for me to obtain a Cert IV in Training and Assessment which enables me to teach in RTO (Registered Training Organisations). For example: Sunshine Coast T.A.F.E, Tamblyn's Modeling Agency and private tuition. I also take great pride in helping my students after they complete their course by helping them find work experience and other employment.

Qualifications

• Diploma of Cinemagraphic Makeup Artistry (QICMA)
• Cert IV in Training and Assessment (T.A.F.E)
• Certificate of Advanced Airbrushing Techniques (Advanced Airbrushing Australia)
• Bluecard (Commission for Children and Young People and Child Guardian - Government Agency)

I believe there isn't one makeup manufacturer that excels with every product. Therefore I use a combination of M.A.C; Kryolan; TMF; BK4C; Mehron; Smashbox and many other brands.
