Becoming an esthetician was never part of my plan. I grew up believing that success came from following a traditional path, so I earned my Bachelor's in Communication Sciences and Disorders and pursued a Master's in Speech Language Pathology. However, by my second semester, I realized it wasn’t for me. With my husband's encouragement, I switched gears and enrolled in esthetics school.

My skin journey began in middle school, battling persistent acne. Trips to the dermatologist and prescription treatments didn’t help, leaving my skin dry and irritated. In college, I sought help from estheticians, but without proper guidance or products, my skin didn’t improve. Frustrated, I decided, “If no one can help me, I’ll help myself”—and that’s what led me to esthetics.
