: About Me

My passion is ...

Is teaching, training and learning. I feel that the biggest room in the world is room for improvement

I know too much about ...

Almost everything : ) I am an avid researcher. If I hear about something I don't know much about - I will make sure I find out as much about that topic as I can. You can never be too informed

My parents always told me ...

Do unto others...that says it all

My childhood ambition ...

To become an integral part of the community I live in. I want to leave a positive impression on all I come in contact and have them say, "Wow, what a wonderful person! I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet her".

My favorite memory ...

Obtaining my "Best All Around Hairdresser Award" and a Bachelors degree in HR Management. I come from a family where not many have achieved higher education in thier lives and to be the first one to do this is invaluable to me.

Why I write ...

Writing is my outlet. When I think - I write. I enjoy this medium of exressing my self.

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

I constantly watch the news, surf the net, and take supplemental courses to eventually earn a Masters degree. Knowledge is KEY!

My first job ...

Was as a sales associate at Sears. I was 15 years old and the law had changed the same year from legal working age from 16 to 15. My mother told me to go find a job and not come home until I was employed. Best lesson I ever learned about growing up.

My best moment ...

Was graduating high school. I was a troubled teen and had my heart set on quitting school when I was 16 years old. My parents stayed after me and would not let me quit at all without consequences. I am very happy that I listened to them.

My inspiration ...

Is my daughter. I adore her and want nothing but the absolute best for her. I do what I do in life so that she will hopefully see that nothing comes from nothing. It takes hard work and determination to acheive what you want out of life. The world is yours!

That would be straight, dare I say...Caucasian hair. I tried product after product, method after method in hopes to attaining so-called perfect hair. I've been a licensed hairdresser and cosmetologist since 1992 and working on people with a variety of hair textures. In my tenture as a professional hairdresser I have picked up some tricks along the way. I hope you will find them as helpful and successful as I have. First, the mo...
