I am a Bronx native, I found my calling while doing makeup for fashion shows at Katherine Gibbs College. I then began freelancing for fashion photographers and stylist and had my work published in various magazines, shooting covers, fashion editorials, and ad campaigns.  I have almost 25 years of experience in the beauty industry working for celebrities and cosmetic brands.
I am currently working as a freelance makeup artist, working independently servicing New York City and Jersey City on photo shoots, door-to-door Makeup & Hair, instructing makeup classes.  I have also worked with Kryolan Professional Makeup as a cosmetic retail artist and workshop instructor teaching and curated classes like (intro to drag, melanin magic, and fundamentals of beauty)

I have affinity for clean beauty for all races! perfecting the complexion and enhancing someone's natural beauty is my love language.  Book me for your next event or photoshoot!
