Halloween is my absolute favorite time of the year because I get to do what I love the most…special effects makeup! It’s so much fun!

Dying to know what Face of Halloween is all about?
What’s your most memorable Halloween experience?
In 2023, I visited the Dent School House in Ohio. I went with my younger brother Aaron, and my good friend, Camille. All three of us are big Halloween fans and had been looking forward to exploring the schoolhouse for a while. Although the line was long, we spent our time conversing with the actors and trying to scare them instead. The haunted house itself was very well done and I can’t say that I didn’t scream and jump out of my skin a few times. I admired their commitment to the bit!
Tell us why you would make it to the end of a horror movie.
I have always been good at identifying patterns. In a horror movie, most of the characters fail to pick up on small clues that might save their lives. However, I have always been quite aware of my surroundings and would likely be able to notice things that others neglect. I would use this skill to outsmart the murderer, ghost, or monster. They would never see me coming…In the end, my attention to detail would probably leave me as the last one standing.
What would you do with the unlucky $13,000?
If I won the grand prize, I would put that money towards paying off my accumulated debts first. I went through a difficult past few years and ended up losing my job. Once I pay off my debt, I would love to put the money toward my makeup and special effects career. It has always been my dream to someday become a professional special effects makeup artist. I love creating fun looks and hope to inspire others to create and follow their passions as well! Never give up on your dream!
Who is your real-life hero who you would want to survive a horror movie with?
This is an easy one! I would love to survive a horror movie with one of my best friends, Tiffany. She has been with me through thick and thin and has always encouraged me to follow my heart. I truly admire her perseverance and commitment. She knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to go after it. I truly believe that we would make an excellent team. We are both very determined and will not ever give up…even if we are being chased by ghouls and goblins in a horror movie!
