I am from Traverse City. I have been in the business for 10 years. I was licensed in 1999, worked for Pavlova for 4 years then Valerio’s for 2 1/2 and then we opened Grace in November 2005.

My hobbies outside of work are my children and family. I have a 3 year old son and 1 year old daughter.

One thing I love about my job is I get to meet so many people, I truely love what I do - making people feel beautiful.

My specialty is people! I do cuts and color, but no perms or makeup or waxing because I don’t enjoy them. I feel like you will do a better job at something if you truely enjoy it.
