I have been doing moulage and special effects since August 2009. I am retired from the Austin Police Department where I spent 13 years as a Data Analyst and Moulage Specialist. My makeup and special effects skills were strengthened through my work with APD as well as my involvement with Scare for a Cure, a local Austin non-profit who produces an annual interactive haunted adventure.  My goal has always been to provide as realistic an injury or crime scene as possible.  

​

A summary of some of my experience, with the Austin Police Department (APD) and others, is included below.

​

• APD Cadet Training Role Play scenarios

• Undercover stings

• Active shooter drills

  • Malls

  • Schools

  • Offices

• Crime and crash scene setup for training and competition

• Creation of prosthetics and realistic props
