Makeup has been a huge part of my life. I love what it can do for people. I believe that a good makeup job will allow you to fall back in love with yourself and seeing people transform like that is amazing for me.

How did you start in the movie industry?

My first job was on a tv series called Section Zero, following that I was lucky enough to be chosen for Plebs. I am very grateful to the person who introduced me into the industry Mariana Mihaylova who was an amazing inspiration for me. She taught me so much and I will forever be in her debt.
