Aloha from sunny Coastal Virginia! My name is Harmony. Welcome to my paradise!
For over 15 years, I've worked as a Model and Certified Holistic Beauty Professional.
Throughout my modeling career, I’ve done bikini modeling, brand ambassador campaigns for beauty brands, photoshoots for colleges, appeared in hair magazines, walked in fashion shows, and much more. I’m incredibly grateful that over the years I’ve been signed to some of the best regional modeling agencies in the United States.
In the holistic beauty industry, I have certifications and education in Holistic Wellness, Master Makeup Artistry, Skincare, and Hair Care. I’ve had the honor of working at America’s top beauty destinations as a Makeup Artist and Beauty Consultant/Advisor. As a result, I’m well-rounded in beauty products, having hands-on experience with all tiers of cosmetics: mass market, prestige, and high-end. It’s been an amazing journey!
I started modeling in 2009 when I was 19. At my first modeling agency, I took weekly model development workshops on the weekends covering a variety of topics. Some of the topics included nutrition, skincare best practices, and how models should apply makeup to themselves. From that moment, I fell in love with wellness, skincare, and the art of makeup application.
One day, I walked into my local Glamour Shots studio to inquire about getting photos taken to add to my modeling portfolio. The photographer there was so impressed with my makeup that he asked me if I wanted to work there as a Makeup Artist. Initially, I said no—because at that time, I had never applied makeup on anyone other than myself. But after a good conversation and hearing him out, I made the courageous decision to say yes. And I’m so glad that I did.
I then began working at Glamour Shots as a Makeup Artist and Hairstylist. I loved walking into the studio every day and received countless hours of training. This job led to an exciting career in beauty.
Later, I received further training at QC Makeup Academy, where I became a certified Master International Makeup Professional (MIMP). At the academy, I discovered my signature makeup style as an Artist: a natural, minimal, beachy look.
I later worked at some of your favorite beauty destinations such as Sephora. Throughout my career, I worked at various Sephora locations and held leadership positions there. I started as a Product Consultant. Then later, I became a Client Experience Leader (CEL), Certified Customized Makeup Application (CMA) Makeup Artist, and Beauty Lead Advisor.
Today, as a Model, I’m represented by Push Models.
I will also be adding my modeling portfolio on this site. Plus, I'll be adding a photo diary blog. Stay tuned on this site for updates!
Since my initial training at Glamour Shots and QC Makeup Academy, I’ve earned various other certifications in the holistic beauty industry over the years. I’m a passionate lifelong learner, continuously expanding my skill set.
In addition, I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Internet Marketing from Full Sail University, where I graduated as Valedictorian with 14 Course Director’s Awards. I created the initial versions of my personal branding websites and blogs in college for my course projects and homework assignments.
Whether I'm modeling or photo diary blogging, my beauty mission has always remained the same—to inspire people from all walks of life to embrace their natural beauty through a holistic wellness approach.

I'm a former TESOL Teacher (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages).
I love listening to bossa nova and smooth jazz, and I sang in my high school's jazz choir.
My favorite animal is the lion because it's my zodiac animal (I'm a Leo).
I served as Social Chair of my college honor society, later becoming Executive Vice President.
A quote I live by is, "Decide what kind of life you actually want. Then say no to everything that isn't that."
