Her journey into cosmetology is deeply personal.

Today, she specializes in working with a variety of hair types and textures and continues to invest in education to better serve her clients. She also gives back through Foster Love Bell County, where she has led hair-care clinics helping foster families learn how to properly care for textured hair.
