Cosmetology Educator & Skin Therapy Educator

Where are you from?

I have lived in 2 countries and 6 states. Although I went to high school and college in Florida, I've lived in Arizona for over 10 years so I would have to say this is 'home'.

What led you to the beauty industry?

I helped a friend open her hair salon and realized I wanted to surround myself with people in the industry. I wanted to fuse my creativity with my business experience and be in the best industry, the beauty industry, every day.

What would you consider your biggest strength?

I think I bring a positive energy into the room.

What's your perfect day like?

Waking up overlooking the ocean; breakfasting on a restaurant deck with the breeze blowing through my hair; riding horses along the beach then dressing up for a nice dinner and ending the night watching the stars shoot through the sky.

What about your profession do you find most rewarding?

The glow and sparkle in a guest's eye when they are happy with the haircut, color or style. It's an unexplainable feeling when you see a person smile into the mirror like that.
