Rebecca Wheeler

I am a reliable, enthusiastic, highly skilled and well presented graduate from the Iver Make Up Academy. In 2019 I walked away from a career in the city to pursue my passion for special effects make up, film and a life of creativity. I have already gained a wealth of knowledge out in the field and I am ready to take the next step as a trainee on a larger scale production. Alongside what I have learnt at IMA, I have great communication and soft skills with clients and colleagues. I have proven to be an asset to any film crew with a positive attitude, fast pace work style and hard work ethic. I welcome all opportunities and look forward to learning from new people in my field to better my craft and further my career. Please take a look at my website for a further insight into my portfolio, academy training and testimonials: www.rebeccawheelermakeupartist.com
