"My dream has always been to work on movie productions. I'm actually doing it thanks to the training I received from Artists Within. The detail of each course really helped me prepare for what I needed as an on-set makeup artist. It was very easy to transition from school to actually doing it. I don't even feel like I'm working because I love what I do so much!"
