I have a unique story and inspiring stories about how I get in there I have Master's Degree in Economics and worked in corporate all my life.

After immigration, while I was waiting for the green card, I just started to attend any school to get out of boredom and accidentally ended up in Makeup School. I never even did or wore makeup before, and I was 34.

I won the final competition in Avant Garde makeup and was invited to New York Fashion Week and LA Fashion Week right away. After I finish the most famous Cinema Makeup school and I finally found my true passion, talent and path.

I started working on set right away and it's already few years since it's my only job that I love the most.
