I graduated from the MAKUP Academy for Film & Media Make Up in July 2019.  The Academy is led by Oscar nominated makeup designer Veronica McAleer.

Through the Academy I learned many skills, period makeup, set etiquette, SFX makeup to name a few.  Throughout my time at the academy I was mentored by Veronica who taught me very specific industry related skills.  My dream has always been to work on film sets but knew I had to work very hard to make that dream a reality.  I took on board suggestions and advice from my peers and people that I have met through the academy who guided me on where to start.

ScreenSkills were opening their doors for trainees to apply to their organization for all areas of the film industry.  With some encouragement and support from Veronica and Academy colleagues, I took the plunge and applied.  I am so excited to write that my application was successful and that I will be joining ScreenSkills as a Film trainee on their programme!  I’m really looking forward to learning more about the industry and how to develop my skills.  Thankyou to everyone who followed my ups and downs and participated in the first part of my journey.
