Fresh out of Pace University in 2016 with my BBA in Advertising + Marketing, I did what every "responsible" graduate does—I dove headfirst into a soul-crushing 9-to-5 job. Who was I kidding? I just wasn't built for the cubicle life.
While everyone else was climbing corporate ladders, I was busy teaching myself the art of makeup transformation. Armed with nothing but YouTube tutorials and an unshakeable belief in my vision, I launched my Instagram in fall 2016. This wasn't just another beauty account—this was my rebellion against the ordinary, my canvas for pure creativity, and my ticket to building something that I was actually passionate about.
What started as a creative outlet quickly became an obsession. I wasn't just posting pretty pictures; I was pushing boundaries with bold looks, and turning faces into masterpieces. The side hustle energy was electric—booking clients, creating content that people couldn't scroll past, and proving that passion wins every time.
By 2022 I was freelancing full time and became a Lead Artist with Sainte Lüx Weddings right here in my beloved Jersey City, NJ. I finally had the courage to tell that 9-to-5 exactly where it could go. Now that's rock "n" roll.
