Summary
I am looking for a part time job where I can work happily and can apply myself. I am hard working, have good people skills, skilled with computers and some payment/scheduling programs, and am very dependable. I also have management and reception experience.
I was a professional pet stylist for nearly 12 years before I finally took the steps to changing my career. I am a was certified as a professional makeup artist by Masters of Beauty Certification Program in the beginning of 2023. I have been doing makeup for years, learning Special FX and beauty makeup on my own and through workshops (notably I have taken workshops run by Tammy Neron). I love to learn about new products and gain new skills to improve my passion for makeup.
My portfolios can be seen through @prettymisfitmakeup on instagram which is my business page and my personal page is @punkinxpie where you’ll be able to see some of the work I’ve done. I would also like to note that I have taken interest in making prosthetics and cosplays in my spare time!
