Kala Kumar
I graduated from the Iver Make-up Academy in January 2023. I have been volunteering as the Hair and Make-up artist for my local amateur theatre group, and it has helped sharpen my skills to work quickly. Being a teacher in my previous career has helped me to communicate well with adults and young children. I am organised, patient, and can remain calm under timed constraints. I am looking forward to getting more opportunities in this exciting industry.
