About me

As an emerging cosmetology student with an edgy, alternative aesthetic, I bring a unique blend of creativity, & diverse background to the beauty industry. Raised in a salon environment and inspired by my mother's passion, I'm not just pursuing a career, but continuing a family legacy of artistic expression through hair and beauty. 

I would like to grow my skill set, knowledge, and creativity, by being apart of a movement that enhances peoples unique beauty, unconventional style & desire to express oneself. I have always strived to challenge traditional beauty norms, while leading to create a safe space by having compassion, understanding, and connecting with people.

I'm committed to pushing boundaries, developing my craft, and creating looks that not only showcase my skills and creativity but also celebrate individual uniqueness.
