My passion comes naturally. Being successful has always been the goal. I always tell myself that no matter what I do, I will try my hardest to be the best at it.

I chose this career path because of the atmosphere I wanted to be around. A salon is more than a workplace; it's a haven where women find confidence, transforming their appearance and spirits. Witnessing the boost in confidence my clients experience when they leave the salon is the most fulfilling aspect of my career. My favorite part of what I do are my clients, our conversations and the bonds I build with them.

My journey is marked by a unique story — one that sets me apart. Being first generation and starting a business while going through a divorce in the middle of a pandemic wasn't easy.

The biggest challenge through the years has been finding a balance between deciding whether to keep working or spend time with my family. Now, many years later behind the chair, I am most proud of finally making my own schedule to accommodate my personal life with my kids better.
