Summary
Originally from Brielle, New Jersey, I relocated to Florida to attend Florida Southern College, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Marketing. While in college, I developed a strong foundation in branding, customer experience, and business strategy before discovering my passion for the beauty industry. I am currently a cosmetology student at Summit Salon Academy in Tampa, where I am expanding my technical skills and preparing to graduate in October 2026. Alongside my education, I work as a receptionist at Sip & Dry Blow Dry Bar and am certified in hair extensions. My goal is to combine my marketing background, creativity, and passion for client care to build a successful career specializing in color and hair extensions while delivering an exceptional salon experience.
