What inspired you to become a makeup artist?
"I have always been Artistically inclined, and am a visual person and have been attracted to the Arts most of my life.

There is allot of great people in the Entertainment and Art industry in Calgary so I was excited to get involved."

What has pushed you to become the artist you are today?
"I am an only child, so I am very driven to be successful in anything I do. All my family members are creative in some form, so it pushed me to explore a profession that allowed me to express my creativity."
How did your schooling help you accomplish your goal of becoming a professional artist?
"The instruction at NiiMD was very insightful. Jaimie Rankin, my instructor was very inspiring and gave me the tools I needed to succeed. The school did a very good job of providing the hands on experience needed to learn the in's and out's of this industry.
I am a very hands on learner, so when I was given photo shoot and fashion show opportunities I was able to really take advantage and use the opportunities to develop a strong network for myself. I have made great friends, and strong connections within the industry."
What is your best accomplishment to date?
"I was just recently published in Vogue Italia with Johanna Stickland - www.vogue.it
This was the first high fashion piece I have had published. It has given me the confidence to take my career to the next level. I am very excited about the future opportunities to come."
