About me

Hi there!
I began my career as a stylist at ULTA Beauty, where I gained a strong foundation in technical skills, client communication, and delivering a personalized experience. Working with such a wide variety of guests early on shaped the way I approach hair today—with intention, creativity, and a commitment to truly understanding each person's needs. After two years, I took the leap into independent business ownership, where I learned even more about leadership, guest management, and building a professional environment centered on trust and authenticity.


I often pull inspiration from minimalist fashion with a bold pop. It's the same balance I bring to dimensional look with vivid accents-blending simplicity with impact so every look feels modern and expressive. I love the artistry behind each transformation, but even more, I love the confidence my guests leave with. My goal behind the chair is always to help people look and feel like the best version of themselves.

Why I'm here

Education is one of the biggest driving forces in my career. I became an educator in 2020, and it quickly became clear how much I thrive when I’m teaching, sharing techniques, and helping other stylists gain confidence in their craft. In 2024, I began teaching for Redken, which allowed me to reach even more artists and continue growing as both a stylist and a mentor.

Teaching has changed the way I work behind the chair—it pushes me to stay curious, stay current, and stay committed to learning. I love breaking down techniques in a way that’s approachable, empowering, and easy to apply. Helping other stylists understand not just how to create something, but why it works, is incredibly rewarding to me.

At the end of the day, my passion lies in growth—my own and the growth of those around me. Whether I’m creating a transformation for a guest or guiding a stylist in a class, I bring the same energy: positivity, clarity, and a deep love for this industry. I’m excited to continue expanding my skills, sharing knowledge, and making a meaningful impact on the people I work with, both behind the chair and in the classroom.
