* If you could give your past self some advice, what would you tell yourself?

I would remind that young woman to stop being so hard on herself. To always trust your gut and intuition and to never let the opinions of others define yourself worth. Never ever settle.

* Do you have a mantra or phrase you live by? What is it?

Be thankful for closed doors, detours and roadblocks. They protect you from paths and places not meant for you.

And

What’s meant for me – will never miss me.

My business goal is headed into some new beginnings. I am working more in film and television and expanding into teaching makeup artists. Stay tuned!

* What is your number one priority when it comes to your career and daily work?

Attention to detail, how my clients leave my chair feeling about themselves and creating an awesome work environment with others.

* What is your favourite thing about what you do in your career and why?

I get to do what I love. Create art and working with people. Being able to do what you love for work is the greatest.
