From a young age I've always known I wanted to help people. In 2020, during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, I became a single mom to my daughter when I was 23 years old and ultimately became a stay at home mom. Eventually I realized that staying at home wasn't giving my daughter and I the life that we deserve.
I was watching an Instagram reel of someone giving a facial and thought to myself "this looks cool, I want to do this", and started looking into esthetics that same day and it was like love at first sight. I knew that this was the field I wanted to be in. Very quickly after that, I applied for my first esthetics school in June of 2023 at the Catherine Hinds Institute in Massachusetts and knew that the path I had chosen for myself is the path that I'm supposed to be on. In September of 2023 I ended up needing to relocate to North Carolina, but I refused to let that get in the way of becoming an esthetician. In December of 2023 I was able to continue my journey as an aspiring esthetician at the Aveda Institue of Wilmington and my graduation date is May 17th 2024, the day after I was supposed to graduate from the Catherine Hinds Institute. Funny how life works out in the end.  

Becoming an Esthetician has been one of the greatest things I've ever done for myself. I'm able to help so many different people by making them feel beautiful in their own skin, and that alone is rewarding enough.
