I love to learn, so I read a lot of non fiction.
How Would You Sum Up Who You Are In This Industry?
I’ve held many roles in this industry – working for color manufacturers as an artist, creating and facilitating education events, editorial work, expert advice for various publications and, of course, as a salon owner. I’d say those experiences feed my true passion, being a mentor! I love watching people grow, lightbulbs go off and finding ways to make a positive difference in someone’s life.
