About me
I am a cosmetology student at The Aveda Institute in Chapel Hill. I love connecting with coworkers and clients on a personal level, and am passionate about helping others feel more confident in their beauty. My dream is to work with hardworking, positive people.
When I’m not behind the chair, I’m usually off on an adventure. I love rock climbing, skateboarding, and hiking. To unwind, you’ll find me slowing down with a book or playing guitar and piano.

Why I'm here
I started college as a business major, and although I enjoyed learning, I realized I couldn’t see myself happy in the lifestyle or career path ahead. Making the shift into cosmetology was a big leap, but one I’m deeply grateful for. It allowed me to build a future that feels aligned—creative, people-centered, and sustainable—and I’m excited for the beautiful opportunities and experiences still to come.
