You can never fail if you do what you love!

About Me

Everyone has a story and here's mine...... I'm a makeup artist and fashion stylist in Nashville,TN. I am so blessed to do what I love. I started doing hair working towards my cosmetology license but I hated the idea of working in a salon. So I started working for a marketing company. Where I was quickly promoted to being a national trainer. I soon began traveling across the country training offices in sales. After working there for a few years I was incorporated and began running my own office. Even though I had the third highest grossing office in the country I was not happy. So I decide to quit and return to my first love.

When I first returned to the fashion and beauty industry I solely wanted to work as a fashion stylist. But after assisting a well known makeup artist I quickly changed my mind. Once I started to work on photoshoots it was easy for me to transition from doing makeup to hair and also styling. Which helps alot in Nashville since it's a smaller market. I travel alot to LA,NY and Chicago for work and training. I am so thankful to the people who helped me with my career. And also happy to help others reach there goals. I'm featured in a few publications on and off line as a beauty expert. I also have a few TV appearances in the works. I love what I do and I could never work a regular 9 to 5. I also work as a promo model which is perfect for my personality. Which is a nice way of saying I'm very outgoing and I love to be the life of the party. Well I can't think of anything else to say so.....send me a message, add me as a friend and let's make some things happen!!!
