Summary

I’ve always been passionate about making people feel comfortable and confident. While I explored various roles to fulfill this goal, I realized I wanted deeper, more meaningful connections with customers. My long-standing interest in skincare led me to discover esthetics as a career, and I was inspired by how estheticians empower others through self-care and trust. Motivated by this, I saved up to attend esthetics school and pursue a career where I can combine my passion for wellness with personalized client care.
