I’m a mama of 3, a hairstylist and aesthetician & an educator at a hair and aesthetics school. I’m always on the go whether it be chasing my kiddos, working magic behind the chair or sharing my passion and educating the young and upcoming beauty professionals.
What lead you to become a Nail Tech? My mom has been a hairstylist since she was 18, and growing up in the salon with her, I always knew I wanted to follow in her footsteps—but I wanted to take it further by exploring the world of aesthetics. I’ve always been artsy and creative, and this profession allows my creativity to flourish. I became a nail tech at just 15 years old, and I’ve been passionate about this industry ever since!
What do you enjoy most about being a Mentor for Fuzion? What I enjoy most about being a Fuzion Mentor is the chance to create and educate from a brand I truly believe in, all while having the incredible support of the Fuzion team behind me. When I was searching for a new line to educate from for the school, Fuzion was my top choice, and I was ecstatic when the opportunity to work with them came my way.
Who inspires you and why? My mom, she has always believed in me and supported me through everything.
What is your ideal work environment? My ideal work environment is one that radiates brightness, positivity, and a welcoming energy. A space where fun and creativity thrive, and everyone feels encouraged and supported.
Proudest career moment? My most rewarding and proudest career moments are when I see the light in my students’ eyes as they grasp a concept and everything just clicks. Those moments of understanding and connection are what make teaching so fulfilling..
What does being a role model mean and mentor to you? Being a role model and mentor means continually growing and learning, while embracing each opportunity to educate with warmth and compassion. It’s about an inclusive environment where every person feels welcomed, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
What advice would you give your 10 year old self? Go for it, you are more than capable of anything that you set your mind to and not be afraid to try new things.
Favourite Beauty Product? I cannot live without my pink lipgloss.
Favourite Colour?
I’m a true lover of all things pink. It's rare to catch me without a set of pink sparkly nails.
Hidden talent My Hidden talent is that I am one heck of a Cornhole player. I’ll take on anyone- any time, anyplace.
