About me
Born and raised in West Virginia, I bring a grounded work ethic and a strong sense of authenticity to everything I do. I graduated from Clemson University with a degree in marketing, which has helped me develop creativity, attention to detail, and a client-focused mindset. Although I pursued marketing academically, I have wanted to do hair for as long as I can remember, and that passion has continued to grow over time. I’m excited to transition into the beauty industry, where I can combine my creative eye, people skills, and dedication to building meaningful client relationships while continuing to learn and grow as a stylist.

Why I'm here
I’ve been drawn to the beauty industry for as long as I can remember. As a little girl, I taught myself how to braid using a YouTube video, practicing without mirrors until I got it right. That early experience sparked something in me—an appreciation for creativity, patience, and the confidence that comes from helping others feel good about themselves. Throughout high school and college, I continued to nurture that passion by doing my friends’ hair, which not only strengthened my technical skills but also confirmed how much I enjoy connecting with people through my work. Being here feels like a natural next step in turning something I’ve loved my whole life into a meaningful career.
