This opportunity has been rooted in years behind the chair—learning, teaching, and growing alongside incredible mentors, colleagues, and clients.

I’m so grateful to the teams at and , along with all the incredible clients who trusted me with their hair and their stories for all these years. You’ve all been such an important part of the foundation that brought me here.

Thank you as well to the leadership team who encouraged me along the way—especially , , , and . Your guidance and belief in me mean more than you know.

In this new role, I’ll have the privilege of supporting salons and artists working with Goldwell, KMS, Kerasilk, and Varis.
