My partner today is Krista Levey. It's a pleasure working with her, and I have no problems with it whatsoever. We make such a great team and work extremely well together. We both discuss what we want to put on our project, and then execute it in a beautiful way and give it our all. We are very happy working with each other and believe that our project will come out amazing!

Hello I'm Courtney, nice to meet you! I am a 17 year old senior at Reading Memorial High School. My favorite movie may or may not be American Hustle, and my favorite book is "Staying Strong" by Demi Lovato. I have a passion for makeup, as well as saving animals. I could do both of these things all day, everyday, and never get sick of them. I do my makeup as much as I can to practice different techniques, and whenever I get the chance, I practice on other people so I can learn how to work with different skin tones and skin types. Another passion of mine is helping out animals. I am a vegetarian and I have been for 3 years and I will never go back to eating meat. It has truly changed my life and showed me that we have so many other ways of getting protein. My dream is to work as a makeup artist and to also work at a shelter and save animals!
