I didn’t step into the beauty industry by accident—this path found me through passion, resilience, and a deep desire to help others feel confident in their own skin.
My journey started long before cosmetology school. From 2020–2024, I owned and operated Southern Touch Beauty Studio, where I worked as a PMU artist while building and leading a team of incredibly talented women. Together, we offered a full range of beauty services—from wedding makeup and permanent makeup to teeth whitening and advanced esthetics. That experience taught me not only the artistry behind beauty, but also how to create an environment where clients feel seen, valued, and taken care of.
During that time, I also worked as an esthetician at Tranquility Day Spa in Wenatchee, where I refined my skills in skin health, client care, and the luxury service experience. It was there that I truly understood the power of slowing down, connecting with clients, and delivering results that go beyond the surface.
After those years, I fully transitioned into tattooing—where I’ve now spent several years specializing in detailed, intentional work that tells a story and enhances natural beauty in a completely different way.
Now, as I continue my journey at Paul Mitchell, I’m bringing all of those experiences together—tattooing, skin, beauty, and business—to create something bigger than just a service. My goal is to offer a well-rounded, elevated experience where every client leaves feeling confident, empowered, and truly taken care of.
This isn’t just what I do—it’s what I’ve built, lived, and grown through.
