Summary
I was born and raised in Cameroon, Central Africa, and moved to the United States as a young adult. I began my career as a professional hair braider, working in various salons in Atlanta before relocating to Texas. There, I launched my own home-based salon business, providing personalized hair care services. In addition to my work in the beauty industry, I have also held part-time positions in nursing homes and assisted living facilities, gaining valuable experience in caregiving and customer service.
