Summary

After being in the beauty industry for over 20 years, I am looking to step away from my chair and give back to the community. Allot of my skills I have developed in the beauty industry will aid me in my transition through my next stage of life. Through these years I have developed strong communication skills, ability working under pressure, quick problem solving skills, along with mentoring and teaching juniors starting in the field.
