About me

I'm a passionate and purpose-driven hairstylist with a strong foundation in creative design, client experience, and leadership.

With years of hands-on experience behind the chair, I bring resilience, vision, and an ever-evolving skill set to every space I enter. I thrive in fast-paced, collaborative environments, and I'm committed to continuous growth-not just in my craft, but in the way I empower others around me.

Whether I'm creating a transformation in the chair or leading a team toward excellence, I show up fully-ready to elevate, inspire, and evolve.

Why I'm here

As a dedicated hairstylist with over seventeen years of experience, I specialize in creating personalized hair transformations that empower clients to feel confident and authentic. I specialize in lived in color, specifically blonding. My true passion started at a young age with styling hair, so my careeer initially started in the bridal industry twenty years ago.

My approach goes beyond the chair—it’s about building lasting relationships through active listening, empathy, and trust. I take pride in mentoring emerging stylists, sharing knowledge, and fostering a collaborative environment that uplifts our industry. I’m here to connect with fellow professionals, exchange insights, and continue making a positive difference in the lives of those I serve.
