While beauty has always been something I wanted to be involved in, I found out in high school that I had a knack for computers. Four years of college, one year working at Walt Disney World, and six years of computers later, I realized that although I was good at was I was doing, it wasn't filling my cup in the way I thought it would.

I wanted to work in a trade, and having grown up in my grandmother's salon, I knew exactly what trade I wanted to work in. While leaving behind the comfort of the job I had was hard, I knew that I could be doing more to help people, even if it was just one head at a time. I chose cosmetology because I want to help people feel as beautiful on the outside as they are on the inside.
