Introduction
About me
I am currently a student at BOA Stage and Screen Production Academy in Birmingham, specialising in hair and makeup for stage and screen. During my two year course I have worked on multiple theatre shows at the Old Rep Theatre, plus wedding and halloween events in Birmingham. I have been chosen to work as a hair and make up artist at several theatrical events at BOA Creative, Digital and Performing Arts Academy by my teachers. I have also worked on a work placement with Threewise Entertainment where we created, filmed and produced a short film in 48 hours. In the summer holiday of July 2023 I worked as a makeup artist on a musical theatre show called Bring It On at the Alexandra Theatre in Birmingham. In Decemeber 2023 I successfully gained the role of Head of Hair and Makeup for Peter Pan the Musical at the Old Rep Theatre. I have also worked as a makeup artist at the British Formation Championships, completing 40 performance makeup looks in just a few hours.

I enjoy a variety of hair, makeup and prosthetic techniques, but I am inspired by makeup artists such as Ve Neill, who has been nominated for eight academy awards throughout her career. She has won several, one for her work on the film Beetlejuice, and she later won a second for her role transforming Robin Williams into Mrs Doubtfire.

I also admire British makeup artist Jenny Shircore, who has worked on over 85 films and tv shows including the BAFTA nominated period drama Elizabeth, where Shircore won an Oscar for transforming Cate Blanchett into Queen
Elizabeth I. As I have a love of period dramas, I find her work fascinating on The Young Victoria and Mary Queen of Scots.
