During the week, I work as a marketing professional, and on the weekends, I get to live out my true creative passion — helping brides and their loved ones feel absolutely stunning on one of the biggest days of their lives.

My love for makeup started long before I ever picked up a professional brush. I’ve spent thousands of hours watching beauty gurus on YouTube since middle school, experimenting, learning, and sharing tips with friends. In college at UNCW, I earned my BA in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing (the creative side of business!), and in between classes, I was the designated “glam friend” — always doing makeup before nights out or special events.

After moving back to Raleigh and establishing my marketing career, I realized I missed that creative spark. When I had the chance to do makeup for a few friends’ bridal parties, everything clicked. Seeing their reactions — that moment when they looked in the mirror and felt confident, beautiful, and completely themselves — reminded me why I love this art so much. Since then, I’ve been doing event and bridal makeup professionally since 2021, and it brings me so much joy to be part of my clients’ special days.

When I’m not behind the makeup chair (or my marketing desk), you can probably find me watching Bravo, cooking, or being the designated bartender of the friend group. Every bride deserves to feel their best — and I’m so honored each time someone trusts me to help make that happen.
