_I am Brendaliz Pagan and I had the opportunity to have Evie Rivera as an educator in a Luxury Finishing class for editorial photos in NYC. I loved the experience, she always gave me suggestions and valuable recommendations. The thing I liked most about her class were the braiding ideas and the hot tips that she gave us. Evie Rivera is super energetic and positive. _
