About

I used to be a primary school teacher for 16 years. I had a career break and then decided to follow my passion in becoming a make- up artist for film, TV and theatre. I trained at the Iver Make-up academy at Pinewood Studios in September 2022. I am currently volunteering at my local theatre as a make-up artist. My future role is to hopefully work in HETV / film or day time TV.
