Q. If you could give your past self some advice, what would you say?

Never give up! Life is change and change is life! Accept it; this is one of the keys to success.

There is always a solution to the challenges we face; we will make mistakes and learn from them. Follow your heart and you can courageously move forward. Education is vital; never stop learning.

Q. When you first started your career, how did you know you were ready and what made you begin?

I studied art at Alberta College of Art, Emily Carr University & Blanche Macdonald Institute.

I am passionate about people & art, I knew being a makeup artist was the path for me.

I studied with an extraordinary artist in Paris; Dany Sanz at the MAKE UP FOR EVER Academy. Education is key! It’s a circle of life learning from each other & educators who share their talents techniques and passion to the world.

Q. What has been your greatest influence?

I grew up on a small colourful island of Trinidad and Tobago, with happy easy-going people who love life and culture.

It certainly influenced me as a child and has taught me many lessons growing up to be the artist I am today. People are important in our life together we are better and stronger. Believe in yourself and surround yourself with positive people. Eliminate what does not help you evolve, dream big, take action and make it happen! You find happiness.

Q. What keeps you motivated on a daily basis?

My motivation is to live my life to the best. When you find your passion, it’s exciting to get up and go each day. We all have the power and choose and to find happiness. I am fortunate & grateful to be a makeup artist and to touch the souls of people each day. To share my knowledge to empower another is why I continue my journey.
