My work

Why I'm here

Working in Salons, I've had opportunites to help grow and educate new stylists. I've had incredible opportunities learning from some amazing educators. I want to be able to find an opportunity where I can give back what was given to me. I would love to find an artistic team that also supports growth, not only in one another, but within the industry. I value mindfulness and inclusivity. I'm ready for more than what being behind a chair can offer.
