Born and raised in NY I have been involved in the salon industry for 20 years of that 13 years I have been working at Maximus Spa/salon in NY. I have been the in-house educator for 9 years preparing our new talent to become successful professionals.

Thru my years at Maximus I have achieved a variety of accomplishments including serving as a Kerastase ambassador, Redken specialist and a Soho Chic educator at the Loreal Academy. I have worked on a variety of makeover shows including Ricki Lake,Maury Povich and Sally Jesse Raphael, fashion shows in NYC, photo shoot’s, and attended various education seminars in Wella ,TIGI, and London for the Salon International.

Then 2 years ago my dream turned into a reality by having the legendary icon Vivienne Mackinder come to our salon. I never thought I would be able to talk to her let alone have the opportunity to assist her for the past two years.With Vivienne's mentoring, teaching and guidance I was able to obtain my highest achievement as amember of her artistic team. Till this day it still feels so surreal.

I have assisted Vivienne photo shoot’s , teaching workshops and even had the chance to accompany her at HairBrasil in Sao Paulo. What I have learned and experienced has created a stronger value in both my work and myself. It has opened new doors of creativity, new language and excitement in this wonderful world of hairdressing we live in.

I became a hairdresser because of the passion, constant learning, determination, and creativity it has to offer. One of my goals was to be part of a team to collaborate thoughts ideas concepts and expression of yourself to others. Creating a sense of belonging.

My commitment is to inspire, dedicate, absorb, learn and guide the world of hairdressers. To make a difference in at least one persons life
