About me

I'm a professional beauty executive and founder with 15+ years of experience transforming technical education into revenue-driving platforms. My passion lies in bridging the gap between stylist expertise and brand innovation—whether that's developing industry-leading curricula, launching product solutions like Pre-Strung Beads, or scaling educator networks from startup to global scale. I've built my career on turning field feedback into market-ready products and mentoring the next generation of beauty entrepreneurs. My approach combines strategic thinking with hands-on execution, ensuring that education isn't just informative—it's transformative for both stylists and brands.
