A working makeup artist for 25+ years, author and mentor obsessed with: chocolate, my hunky hubby, fur babes, Audrey Hepburn’s glitter eye makeup in "How to Steal a Million" and helping other artists and stylists have the tools and confidence to create a dream career and life they love.
Did you start out with endless passion, only to get discouraged when things didn’t go as planned?
Me too! I optimistically dove into beauty school after leaving my criminal justice studies—without any connections or experience. When I started, I lived in a tiny, cheap apartment, ate ramen and PB&J sandwiches, and heard hundreds of 'no’s.' I also said 'yes' to tons of free gigs to 'network,' often pushing myself to the point of exhaustion or burnout. It was brutal.
But once I mastered the right strategies, I built a successful business that has thrived for over 25 years, working with top editorial, fashion, commercial, and celebrity clients.
By 2002, after building my clientele and gaining more visibility, other artists—including my assistants—began asking for help with their portfolios and on-set experience. Before long, they were booking better jobs and making significantly more money.
Since then, my coaching methods have helped countless artists and creatives change their narrative. We focus on mindset, business, and artistry to equip you with the tools to become unstoppable.
I truly believe that once you gain clarity around your purpose and goals—then apply the right strategies—you can achieve your dreams in a fraction of the time.

Skip years of struggling and fast-track your success in just weeks or months with the proven blueprint and strategies I teach
To help you build and grow your business faster with proven strategies and a clear blueprint—eliminating the guesswork
There was no YouTube, social media, or specialized classes to learn from—I had only trial and error to guide me. I absorbed everything I could from beauty and fashion experts, personal growth mentors, and marketing gurus to build my career.
Now, after 25+ years, unlike many coaches who no longer work in the industry, I’m still a full-time, working makeup artist who is actively booked with top supermodels, celebrities, and leading fashion and advertising brands—all while living in a smaller market.
I specialize in helping makeup artists and stylists who work with wedding, special occasion, salon or retail makeup clients but dream of stepping into the world of high-end beauty, fashion, editorial and commercial jobs. I’ll teach you how to make the transition with a proven strategy, industry insights, and real-world guidance from someone who’s still in the game.
