I learned at a young age how much creativity I have. Growing up, I was very involved with anything that had to do with the arts. Choir, dance, theatre, painting, sculpting, you name it and I’m all over it. Like everyone else, I’ve always thought about who I was and what I wanted to be. During my sophomore year in high school, it became very apparent how much I loved the feeling I got when I dolled myself and others up for a performance or splashed fun colors on a piece of paper. I knew then that I had so much passion and experience to bring my talents together and become a hairstylist.

After I graduated from high school, I attended The Temple in Annapolis and completed my studies in June of 2022. I now have accomplished my first year as a stylist with Vivid. Being here, I would say my favorite thing about Vivid Salon is the unity and how much the teams care about everyone who comes in. This is the perfect environment that has helped me grow my technique and confidently give my guests what they want. Which is to feel beautiful! Continuing my time with Vivid, I’d love to try new practices or techniques with current and oncoming guests in my chair!
