I am accustom to working in a high pressure, multi-faceted environment, while maintaining a consistent quality of work and still adhere to production deadlines.  I am equally strong in both hair styling and make-up application for a multi-cultural audience and have the ability to produce special effects such as scaring, blood, tattoos, and bruises.  I am also well adapt in wig, beard, and mustache application.  I travel with an extensive hair and make-up kit which allows me to meet any challenge that may arise on set.
