I have worked in the beauty & make up industry for the past 15 years. Weddings were my introduction to the industry, and I still enjoy them - every occasion gives me great pleasure. I have also worked on a variety of other projects in different areas of hair & makeup.

I am a trained and certified Beauty Therapist, Nail Artist, Hairdresser and Makeup Artist. I have owned my own salon in Sydney and have taught beauty therapy, nails and makeup to students at TAFE and private beauty schools. I have worked internationally in Korea, New Zealand and on location around Australia. I've worked alongside prominent industry professionals on a variety of feature films such as "The Matrix," "Dark City", and have done hair and makeup for many award winning short films such as "The Host". I am also familiar with media having worked in television on both national and international commercials and tele-movies such as Samsung, Hyundai, Channel 10, Sun Herald, Fox Sport, Farscape, Airtight and Bondi Banquets.

In order to expand my creativity further I've been involved in theatre, music videos, and creative photo shoots such as Sportswear Catalogue with Laila Ali and fashion shows at Sydney Bridal Carnival.

I am passionate about make up.... I am intrigued by this magical world and the transformations that can occur from a single brushstroke....
