I grew up in a small town in eastern North Carolina.  I  got my first itch to do hair when I was 12 years old and got hold of my first bottle of hair bleach and turned myself into a beautiful calico blonde.  When I was first allowed to get a job, I was a shampoo assistant at Moonie's Beauty Case that was located downtown in that small town.

Fast forward a few years, and I received my formal training in the art of hair at Paul Mitchell, The School in Costa Mesa, California in 2001 and began working at The David Salon in Costa Mesa, California.  I then relocated to Savannah, GA in 2003.   

It was in Savannah, in 2012, that I got the opportunity to work on my first film, a little indie horror flick called The Sacrament.  From there, I have had the pleasure of working on a wide span of film and television shows spanning from the Civil War era, with The Birth of a Nation,  to modern day, The Act on Hulu.  Since January of 2013, I have been a member in good standing for IATSE 798 Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Union.

I have continued to advance my education by receiving training from DevaCurl, Vidal Sassoon Miami, Pivot Point Chicago, Bumble and Bumble New York, Keune Hair Cosmetics Holland, and attained my Hair Design Instructor Certification in 2010.  In April 2013, I was certified in texture service, the Arrojo American Wave.  In 2016, I trained under the accomplished Sharon Blaine for her editorial workshop.  In May of 2018, I went to Las Vegas to learn the art of Wig Making from the amazingly talented hair department of Cirque de Soleil. 

I have my cosmetology license for the state of California and Georgia.  I also have my Hair Design Instructor License for the state of Georgia.  I am also an American Board Certified Hair Colorist, and worked as a technical trainer, educator, and front and back stage crew for Keune Hair Cosmetics.  I am also certified in a variety of hair extension methods, Permanent Thermal Straightening and Keratin Treatments.  And I am passionate about continuing to learn all different types of period hair styles on all types of hair.
