Misty Stratton

Gallery Salon
ROCHESTER,NY

Overview

After eons of managing a staff of personalities, I'm looking to dive headfirst into a career in what I love most (outside of my pets and my partner, of course)- travel.

Travel! The Great Elixir!

Add some daydreaming, a handful of wanderlust, and a whole lot of planning, and travel simply elevates our quality of life.

To be able to help others in their quest to see the world would simply be my dream job.

Thank you for considering me!
