Hi,
I am a young woman living in Pōneke. I have a passion for creating, more specifically the world of SFX makeup. I have been working as a full-time Barista for the last three years, where I have developed my strong work ethic and love for coffee. I have thoroughly enjoyed connecting with my community through coffee, I feel I’m ready now to take risks in order to pursue my dream of creating full-time. I am searching for a connection/position to further my skills in the creative industries that I love.
My time studying at Whitireia was hugely beneficial to my learning path in Makeup. After gaining well-rounded practical skills in Character Makeup, prosthetics application, and hands-on experience working on student films and music videos, I have a great base of knowledge and ability to start contributing to the film/creative industry in Aotearoa.
