"My favorite Ah Hah moment was when I realized how to blend the prosthetic edges, it was so simple!"
"Being a self taught artist can be challenging so receiving guidance and learning new/proper techniques will allow me to work faster and more efficiently on set. Coming from a beauty background, it has also expanded my skill set, which will open up more opportunities in the film and tv industry."

"I see Bootcamp helping me in a makeup/fx career in so many big ways! First off, by teaching me the 'right way' and the 'wrong way' to do things - which for some things, like applying and removing prosthetics, is very important! Second off, by giving me a comfortable environment to learn and practice the craft before going out and practicing with my new knowledge!"
