Summary
I've been a part of the hair industry for 9 years now being licensed. I'm so passionate about this career and I've recently found a new love for education and teaching while still working behind the chair. I've worked a few salons and have had the privilege to teach at Paul Mitchell as well as a Aveda Institute for a short time. Specifically hair cutting, short cuts and vivid/ fantasy colors are my strong suit. Specifically with education I have discovered that I enjoy helping new talent and students understand and grasp all things hair. Being aware of my students weak points so I am able to target where they need to be supported more in has become something I really try to be attentive of. Education is so important and I love hair, so I will always have a passion to helping new generations of cosmetology. I have taught in class rooms, helped on the floor with servies and worked one on one with students.
