I'm a dreamer and honestly believe that we can do anything or become anything we want as long as we put our mind to it.

It took a couple of attempts at college to realize it wasn't for me, but I always found myself passionate about the fashion and beauty industry. I would spend hours getting ready before going out with friends, sewing wefts of hair together to make my own clip-in extensions and ensuring my makeup was just right. I always loved spending my money on fashion, and my closet would become both of my sister's go-to place to find an outfit.

In 2010 I volunteered at Toronto Fashion Week, and when I arrived at the venue, a few people working there assumed I was with the hair or makeup team –which felt like a calling! The whole environment sparked a flame in me. I knew I had to be a part of this beauty world in some way!

In searching for a career, I became a certified makeup artist and was offered a job as a hair assistant to a family friend who owned a salon. She encouraged me that I would be amazing in this career, and from there, I took the opportunity and ran!

I began apprenticing in Kitchener but knew I wanted to experience more than my hometown, so I headed off to Toronto and then, shortly after, landed in Milton. I've gained a lot of valuable experience from all the places I've lived and worked, and through my journey as a Hair Stylist, I've been able to meet amazing people from all walks of life. Over the years, clients have shared their stories with me, and I have heard sadness and triumphs through this. I've watched people grow and change in so many ways, which is one of the aspects of this career that I love so much!

Being able to express my creativity daily is a blessing. I am truly thankful to those who allow me into their personal space and choose me to share pieces of their life with. 

I am forever evolving and grateful, and I look forward to taking care of you!
