Her interest in makeup began while watching her mother use an eyelash curler when she was little and has been fascinated ever since! Her best childhood friend suffered with cancer in high school and although not a hairstylist, Kim would help wash and style her wig. While in the corporate world she would help friends shape their eyebrows on her lunch break and do their makeup for on stage performances. Getting laid off from her corporate job after 8 years was what changed her life's path into a career she is very passionate about.

Her professional cosmetics experience started while she was in school at Catherine Hinds and began working as a makeup artist and moving up to the Manager of a Merle Norman Cosmetics studio in Winchester, MA. She was also the Lead Trainer for Bare Escentuals in Peabody, MA. She received a certificate on Bridal Makeup techniques from Jane Iredale Mineral Makeup.

She has freelanced since 2006 and loves being an important part of the bridal party's look.

One of her passions about her career is teaching young girls about cosmetic hygiene and how to apply very little makeup for a big effect.

She is also a Reiki practitioner and a Spinning instructor.
