Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, I was drawn to the arts at an early age. Before turning make-up into my profession, I worked in graphic design, photography, and even comic book illustration.  Beauty was always a passion and a hobby, as I was the go-to makeup gal for my friends in high school and college. After a series of fortunate encounters and what I consider my “lucky break”, I began working as an artist for MAC Cosmetics in 2016. Work felt more like play, and it was then that I knew the beauty industry was where I belonged. After 8 years in the field and thousands of faces later, I still get excited with every brushstroke and eyeliner flick. Weddings are my bread and butter, and I’m proud to be part of the bridal team at Cleveland Beauty Collective.
I received my esthetics license from Brown Aveda Institute in 2023 to further my knowledge of skincare and provide an even better experience for my clients. Aside from on location work, I have a private studio in the Superior Arts District in downtown Cleveland.
When I’m not beautifying clients or editing photos, I’m most likely exploring the Metroparks or cozied up on the couch with my fur babies and partner watching movies at our home in Akron.
Thanks for taking a moment to get to know me a little better! I hope I’ll be seeing you in my makeup chair soon!
