Who am I?

I am a single woman in Colorado. I have never been married and have no children. During highschool, I attended beauty school and was raised in my mom’s hair salon and around many of my instructors that she worked with in my older teenage years. I worked some retail jobs and got comfortable with customer service and listening to what people want and need. I ended up going to college, where I received my bachelor’s degree in Marketing. Throughout my college years, I worked in the Admissions office and worked retail at The Buckle. I always have had a passion for writing and expressing myself. I have always been very good at writing and editing and get excited when I am working on something.

In 2006, my mom, sister and I opened New Dimensions Beauty Academy. We had 15 years of dedicated work, financial aid, state and federal regulations, a loyal staff, talented students and wonderful clients. This experience was like no other. I grew and learned a lot about myself and was able to recognize the compassionate leader that I had become. I wore many hats and miss my clients, students, and staff terribly. We were forced to close our doors a few months ago due to the effects of Covid. This news was devastating. Losing my students was like losing a limb. I lost a part of myself. Through several years of self help and therapy, I feel that I am grieving very effectively. Different tools have really been useful during this process and I am grateful that I have such strength and courage to move forward with grace. The knowledge and experience that I have developed over the years is exciting. I will always continue learning and growing and look forward to what the future holds.
