Education is her passion, and she wants every student or person that she teaches to know they can accomplish anything they put their mind to, it is challenging work, and you will want to give up at times, but the reward makes it all so worth it.
Jessica believes that makeup artistry is merely a tool to empower, uplift and build self-esteem in all individuals. She strongly encourages everyone to embrace their inner beauty as her motto is a gentle reminder that, “Beauty isn’t Makeup, Beauty is You.”
