SHOP COLLAGEN LIFT HERE
I only endorse items I truly believe in, that’s why I was a dedicated user of Collagen Lift long before I became the face and ambassador for the brand. I made the smart decision of choosing to focus on my skin as the focal point of my beauty routine at a young age (trust me girls, the younger you start – the better!).
I actually met the Collagen Lift team at a beauty expo where I shared how I absolutely love their products with them. Knowing my background and influence, they asked me to become their brand ambassador! A truly fitting role if I do say so myself.

2020 - now...
...have been exciting, blessed years as CEO of Cosmetix. I have had the opportunity to navigate and grow a business through a pandemic, do two modelling campaigns for Collagen Lift Paris International, dabble a little in Television again, shoot a couple of magazine covers, do a stint of home schooling (as we all did) and support my two little chess champions.
I am excited for the future as it will see the culmination of some behind-the-scenes work for new projects.
I look forward to some fun events as Master of Ceremonies, with motivational speaking, health, wellness and beauty as my core focus.
I lost 10kg, re-invented myself inside and out, became a plant-based eater and fitness fan, was lucky enough to travel and re-ignited my passion for female empowerment through the beauty industry, social media and workshops.
