• About the artist
Makeup Artist – Hair Stylist. I’m from Ashburn, Va. I am an aspiring cosmetologist currently attending Paul Mitchell The School of Tyson’s Corner. I was given the chance and to be a part of Audrey’s Dream Team by my former teacher Ebony.
• First encounter with beauty
I’ve been around hair and makeup as long as I can remember. From watching my mom get ready, to playing dress up with my cousins, hair and makeup has always been a part of my life.
• What and who do you admire the most and why
I have always had great admiration for my mom. She is my motivation, my logic and the one person who is contently encouraging me and pushing me to pursue my dreams, no matter how crazy they may sound!
• What inspire you
Becoming a member of Audrey’s Dream Team has been my greatest inspiration. For the first time in my life it has given me hope that dreams really do come true as long as you’re willing to learn and work to make them come true.
• Philosophy on beauty,
I am a firm believer that no matter how bad your day is, no matter how down you’re feeling…there is nothing a great hair day can’t fix!
Everyday is a Fashion Show and the World is your Runway!
• Best beauty advice,
Makeup is an art. Beauty is your spirit!
