Summary

I was born and raised in the United Kingdom, then moved to Utah when I was 28 with my then 2 year old daughter. I attended Cosmetology school in Provo Utah at the age of 30. I have worked in the industry ever since in some form or another. I currently own my own business, and thoroughly enjoy working for myself. I also enjoy creating relations with my clientele. I consider myself an active member of the community, which I have grown to love.
