About Me
For Me - It's Always Been Rooted in Dreams.
I am someone who has always believed in the power of remembering why you have started and where you come from; that's why I have made multiple careers in chasing my dreams.
Growing up, I never really knew what path I had wanted to go down when it came to finding my career; the only thing that I did know was that I had wanted to love whatever I did. When I was in college, I worked as a salon assistant and fell fast into the world of cosmetology. I finished my associates degree, went to cosmetology school, and started working behind the chair while finishing my cosmetology instructor's hours. Shortly after graduating, I was hired as an instructor for multiple departments and classrooms within the school.
For years, I worked as an instructor by morning and manager with a full book by night. I absolutely adore my industry and I loved sharing that passion for the industry with those who were just starting out. I've managed classrooms of all different age ranges and all different backgrounds; I've worked with those who are just starting out in the adult world, and I've seen those who are looking for a big change after living a full career.
I have connected with so many people and have experienced so many different stories, and I have been fortunate enough to share some of life's best moments with my clients. As a bridal hair specialist, I have gotten to be a big part of my client's special day - whether it's getting to see the dress and the details before everyone else, or helping to ease nerves in the final moments before walking down the aisle, there is no greater feeling than being the one standing by their side and guiding them along the way.
And that's why I love what I do - sometimes we all need a confidence boost in a big life decision; that's why I'm here to be your fairy godmother.
Buying a home doesn't need to be scary. Finding an apartment doesn't have to be stressful. Selling your home should be exciting!
In everything that I do, my main goal is to always keep the dreams at the root; whether it's in your hair, or in your home.
Community Connections
I truly believe in the phrase "it takes a village;" the best part of our community is the people within it! Here are some of my favorite organizations, restaurants, and small businesses within the Bucks County area that I love to support!
My favorite Monday night activity is helping to coach my friends on the Blackthorn Barbarian's Mixed Ability Rugby Team - we are the first mixed ability rugby group in the United States! We meet weekly during our season for practices and games, and off-season we get together for fundraising, parties, and community events.
Each year, we host a Pancake breakfast at Guiseppe's Pizza in Richboro - this year marked our first ever "Barbarians Give Back" event where we picked a great local organization that means something to us and raised money by serving a delicious breakfast prepared by the Guiseppes team. This year we chose to donate to Kind Like Joey - a wonderful organization that helps support familes in our local community.
We also get together at Artifact Brewing in Hatboro for my personal favorite event - our annual Mac and Cheese Competition! Players, families, and our adoring fans all look forward to this event year round when we taste the best of the best recipes! We have raffles, tons of fun, and even more mac and cheese.
Both Guiseppes and Artifact have always gone above and beyond to take care of our Barbarian family, and they do so every year with the biggest smile on their faces. If you are looking for an event or just your next place to grab a slice or a brew, look no further than these two great places.
