About me

I am currently attending Educators of Beauty in Rockford, Illinois to pursue my passion for cosmetology. 

I would describe myself as:

- Outgoing

- Bubbly

- Kindhearted

Throughout my life, I have been a competitive dancer & have always enjoyed staying involved in different activities & opportunities. 

Dance has taught me the importance of:

- Dedication

- Discipline

- Teamwork

- Hardwork

These qualities I will also be carrying with me into the beauty industry. I enjoy expressing my creativity through hair styling, hair coloring, haircuts, extensions, blowouts, lashes/brows, & special occasion hair. I strive to create a welcoming enviornment. 

I want my clients to feel:

- Comfortable

- Valued

- Confident 

I am excited to continue learning, grow my skills, & build meaningful connections with my clients as I work toward a successful future in the beauty industry.

Why I'm here

My passion for the beauty industry began with watching my mom do hair throughout my childhood. Seeing her work inspired me to follow in her footsteps & create a career doing something I love. However, beauty means more to me than just appearance. I want to help people feel beautiful, confident, & comfortable in their own skin because I believe that feeling good about yourself can have a positive impact on your mental health & overall well being. My long term goals are to own my own salon, build a fully booked clientele, & give back to my community. I am here because I want to make a difference in people's lives, one client at a time, while turning my passion into a career I can be proud of. 🩷
