It has always been a dream of mine to work in hair and makeup whether that was film, TV, fashion, theatre etc. I am a organised, passionate, adaptable, hardworking team player in my role as a trainee in Hair and Makeup. I am committed to learning, bringing a positive and professional attitude to every opportunity. The 30 week advanced hair and makeup at IMA trained me in many avenues within the industry and contributed to me truly falling in love with all of them!
