About

I trained at London College of Fashion gaining a certificate in Professional Makeup Artistry in May 2017. Since then I have undertaken additional training in SFX and Prosthetics, and Wig Application at Creative Media Skills.

I am a very hard working, reliable, organised and pro active person who is creative, enthusiastic and a good team player. I pride myself on my friendly personality, time keeping, adaptability and being able to work well under pressure and as part of a team. 

I am interested in all work opportunites including TV, Film and Commercial. I am eager and enthusiastic to learn new skills which will inevitably be valuable for a long standing career in this industry. I have gained experience as a Makeup Artist and Makeup Assistant working on Music Videos, Commercials, Short Films, Corporate Shoots and Fashion. During the past year and a half I have worked on four independent Short Films and five Feature Films including Palindrome directed by Marcus Flemmings (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10464930/?ref_=nm_knf_i1). I won a Best Hair and Makeup award at the White Deer International Film Festival for my work on this film, and have since worked on Marcus Flemmings new Feature Film, Blonde Purple.
