Why did you choose the beauty & wellness industry?

I love working with people who choose professions that help and serve others. As Director, being able to help provide a path to those professions is very rewarding and fulfilling. The beauty and wellness industry is filled with positive individuals looking to have a positive effect on the services they provide their guests.

Why do you love education?

Education never ends, especially in the beauty and wellness industry. I love being able to operate and facilitate education at the Institute to meet the needs of today's ever-growing beauty and wellness professions. There are always new trends, services, equipment and licensing laws to learn. The education we provide benefit our students' ability to be successful as a professional service provider. Education at the college level is a unique experience for most students because they chose to be here. I am always motivated and encouraged by our students and team members willing to learn and expand their knowledge about the profession. Our ultimate goal is to learn how to impact our guests in a positive way about how they look and feel. Simply put, I love education that focuses on helping others."
