Hi, I'm so excited to meet you! My journey in the beauty industry started at 16 as a salon assistant, and in 2020 I followed my dream to cosmetology school. By 2022, I officially joined the Illuminate team and grew from assistant to stylist... a path that has shaped me into the stylist (and person) I am today.

​

Behind the chair, I’m obsessed with dimensional color that adds richness and depth, and I love creating soft, lived in waves (and yes, I’ll show you exactly how to recreate them at home!). I’m also a Certified Artist with Invisible Bead Extensions®, which allows me to transform fine or fragile hair into full, healthy, confidence boosting dream hair. Seeing my guests light up at their before and after will always be one of my favorite parts of this career!

​

These days, I’m navigating a brand new chapter.  Balancing life as a wife and new mom to my sweet daughter, Emmy, while still pouring my creativity into the guests I serve. Though I’m working part time right now, I put my whole heart into every appointment, and I’m so grateful for each guest who chooses to sit in my chair and be part of this season of my journey.

​

When I’m not in the salon, you’ll find me soaking up family time, exploring Downtown Frederick with my husband, or sneaking away for a quiet moment with true crime podcasts.

​

I hope to see you in my chair soon!
