I was born and raised in Altoona, Pennsylvania and moved to Schuylkill County to attend Penn State University, where I earned a degree in Radiological Sciences. I am still a registered radiologic technologist with the ARRT. Despite having northern roots, a lifelong dream of mine was to live among the palm trees, and I was able to do that for a time after moving to South Georgia to accompany my husband, who was in the U.S. Navy and stationed there for a few years. We moved back to our hometown in 2024.

I’m a licensed esthetician, Face Reality Certified Acne Expert, professional makeup artist, and a Dermalogica professional skin therapist. I have been learning and practicing makeup artistry since I was eleven years old. In 2023, I decided to follow my dreams and enroll in esthetics school in Jacksonville, FL, while I lived just across the state line. I firmly believe an artist cannot work without having a full knowledge of their canvas. Through school I discovered a passion for skin, specifically sensitized and acneic skin. I graduated in 2024 with extra certifications in brow lamination and tint, lash lift and tint, and dermaplaning. I am also Starpil wax certified, Barbicide certified, and have multiple badges within the Dermalogica professional education program.

Outside of esthetics, I enjoy cosplay, traveling, and playing my extensive collection of Sonic the Hedgehog games. I love to watch Hazbin Hotel, all of the Rocky movies (specifically 2-4 though), and Avatar The Last Airbender. My family includes my husband, Jared, our dog, Ricky, and our two turtles, Michelle and Pickles.

I have an intense love for this industry, my clients, and continuing education and my goal is to become the best version of myself so I can help my clients do the same.
