Summary

Celebrating over a decade of leadership experience in the industry! My focus over the last 14 years has been developing my leadership style through clear focus on continuing education and self-evaluation, keeping a sharp eye out for areas of improvement and implementing changes to strive for excellence. When it comes to my teams I am an enthusiastic educator with focus on deeply connecting others to their work passion. I understand the value of good communication as well as the importance of a positive attitude and how that influences company culture. I am very passionate about aesthetics and genuinely connecting people of all stages of life to their path of beauty through education and results driven treatments and procedures. Running my own business has taught me how to be an effective leader and how to connect each member of the team to a shared goal of excellence at every point of client interaction. This experience made me realize how much I truly enjoy working hard and getting to see everything coming together.
