I’ve been blessed with a long, fulfilling career in the beauty industry.I remember knowing from a very young age that I was interested in hair and beauty. I love looking back at all I’ve learned and how much I’ve grown through it. My passion for learning and growing personally and professionally drives me to always reach for more. That led me to go big with my sister, Becky, and Mary Kate and Company was born. She had all the talents, qualities, education and experience that complimented mine. Together we make an awesome partnership. We started our company in December of 2006. I have transitioned into a new phase of business ownership serving behind the scenes. big picture visioneering, coaching and leadership along with making connections in our community and industry.

My life experiences have given me a unique perspective as a leader. I’ve picked myself up and dusted myself off numerous times. It’s funny how you grow more from adversity than you do from anything else. Because of that, I always coach everyone to embrace and even celebrate difficult experiences, negative reviews and embarrassing moments as the building blocks of character, strength and resilience. I am passionate about personal growth.
