After graduating Rockhurst University with a degree in psychology, I decided to take a more creative path. I chose to become a hairstylist because it was a way to express creativity, while still connecting and impacting people's lives. After completing the associate program in 2012, I continued my training through the TIGI ambassador program, TIGI Classic Cuts and Color, and Educator's Training in New York and Dallas. I lead Belle Epoque’s in-salon education program, and continues to advance in my cutting and coloring techniques through additional education.
