Story

**Industry Experience**

Licensed in 2007

**What is your biggest contribution to the industry/salon?**

“I started out my career as a makeup artist; with makeup being very seasonal I decided to expand my bubble into Esthetics back in 2007. I am so happy I did this, not only have I been able to help with my own skin issues, but I have helped countless clients (now friends) with their skin needs as well. I find the Esthetics industry so satisfying in that I am able to find solutions to problems and give hope and positive self-esteem to those of my community.”

**In your opinion – what is your biggest strength?**

“I would say makeup, waxing and spray tanning; I am very efficient in waxing. With it [waxing] being an uncomfortable and sometimes embarrassing procedure, I pride myself in my bedside manner and speed… you won’t be on the table long with any of my waxing services, but I am sure the get every stray hair and accomplish that “perfect” arch of the brow.”

**List any extra certifications or awards you have received**

“Temptu Advanced Airbrush Makeup 2007-2014. International Dermal Institute 2007-2008. Advanced Esthetics Association 2008.

**What is it that you love most about your trade?**

“I absolutely LOVE “painting” people’s faces! Painting as in doing their makeup. In the year 2014, during wedding season which runs from May through October I averaged 4-6 weddings per month with weddings in 2015 already being booked! I am so blessed to be able to share these milestone moments with people. I also love waxing, I specialize in brows and Brazilians but will wax everything in between!”

**What are your hobbies and interests outside of work?**

“I love going to the theater, being with my family and friends, floating the river, bbq’s, and watching my beautiful nieces and nephews grow up.”
