About me
I’ve always been hands-on and curious with beauty experimenting with makeup, hair, color, and eventually skincare. Creativity has been a constant in my life, and beauty school gave me the space to challenge myself, refine my ideas, and turn that creativity into something intentional. Being able to bring beauty into my everyday life feels like a privilege, and it’s something I don’t take lightly.
Through this industry, I’ve gained more than technical skills. The one-on-one conversations and connections I’ve built with clients and peers have shaped the way I work and communicate, allowing me to connect with people on a deeper level. I’m grateful to be part of a community and industry that values both artistry and human connection.

Why I'm here
I come from a family of barbers and salon owners who poured their heart and soul into their work. Growing up around that taught me that this industry isn’t just about hair, it’s about listening, caring, and building real relationships. Carrying on that legacy as a new generation stylist has helped me feel deeply connected to my clients, because when someone sits in my chair, there’s real trust involved. I grew up on stage singing, acting, and entertaining, and that part of me never went away. I’m a talker, I show up as my authentic self, and I’m unapologetic about it. You’ll find me singing, dancing, and laughing behind the chair. Being myself never takes away from my professionalism I take real pride in my work ethic and my strong drive to finish what I start.
