Institute of Beauty and Wellness Milwaukee, Cosmetology Instructor, Shari Andrews

Why did you choose the beauty & wellness industry?

The cosmetology field attracts people due to its creative outlets, job flexibility, constant growth, relationship building, entrepreneurial opportunities, economic stability, and potential for career advancement. While also being passionate about beauty, creativity, and helping others feel good about themselves. These factors made it an appealing career choice for me.

Why do you love to teach?

Being an educator is one of the most rewarding things I have done. Helping students progress from point A to point B, witnessing their struggles, and assisting them in overcoming obstacles—helping them build their confidence and seeing them graduate—is the most rewarding part of it.
