My Story
Little did I know back in 2005 when I began my journey at the Dior Beauty Counter, it would be the start of a longtime passion! From helping clients find a perfect look to seeing their reactions, it was clear this is where beauty called me. And here I am today, many years later, still loving those transformative moments with makeup.

Product Expert
Having worked at M.A.C., Sephora and becoming a Brand Representative for Benefit Cosmetics, I gained experience & opportunities to grow my skills as an artist and educator. I'm proud of learning from several Brands at Sephora and the certifications I earned from some of them. Those interactions and self-study helped me become a product expert.
Industry Makeup Academy - Founder
Joining the Sephora team helped me become a Beauty Educator. As a Lead Artist, my Store Manager appointed me to train other artists on how to maximize sales with clients - it wasn't long before I realized teaching was a true passion! To offset Sunday's returns, I occasionally hosted a pre-opening class to educate customers on new products and their uses: resulting in a line forming at checkout before opening.
​
After working in Beauty Retail for three years, I developed an ambitious dream to open a makeup academy. This vision became a reality in January 2009 with the launch of Industry Makeup Academy (formerly Prostyle Makeup Academy). IMA offers State-Authorized Professional Makeup Artistry Certifications. With hard work and determination we became the top-rated Makeup Academy in Georgia and have been recognized as GBJ "Best of Georgia" in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
I'm proud to have been part of the Beauty Industry for almost two decades. From looks for blushing brides to working on TV/film sets, it's been a journey that has allowed me so many opportunities and the privilege of meeting some inspiring people along the way. Today, I teach both Professional & Personal courses across a range of platforms - and I can't wait to meet my next exciting client.
