Cosmetology Certification, love to do hair, many years of communicationcation skills. Compassion.

Fell in love with the hair industry right out of high school and decided to take the plunge, I realized I not only had a knack for hair but also had a passion for the people. I would listen to their stories, their sadness and their happiness, all of which I had a strong sense of compassion and good listening skills for. I believe this led me to becoming very fond of many of my elderly clientele. I always thought "oh my goodness how cute" or wow how neat is it to hear their life stories ! Another huge inspiration was my great grandma who I took care of for two years. I strongly believe my journey so far has led me to the medical field in which I am driven to keep on expanding my career in for the next chapter of my life.
