I started being interested in makeup as soon as my mom gave me my own lipstick at the age of 5 years old. By the age of 13 I would wear the boldest lipsticks I could find!

I studied arts and the Central High School of Visual Arts in Puerto Rico, while playing my guitar and singing in the hallways. Once in college, I studied acting and music, and learned of my love for musical theatre and my passion for makeup flourished.

After college, I decided to join the corporate world, but my love was in the arts. I started performing in plays and musicals and doing makeup on the actors. While getting to shoot many local and national commercials, videos and hosting, I began doing makeup looks and while freelancing as a makeup artist and started posting the looks online, and started to get a lot of positive feedback.

Now, after many trainings and lots of experience, I really enjoy being behind the camera and being part of the crew that makes the magic happen! In this career there is always tons of room for learning and improvement which is something I’m always excited to do!
