circa 2017

I’m a Vermont native but always dreamed of moving to sunny California! I moved out to California in 2001 but also spent almost 10 years living in Oregon.

I got my start in esthetics when I ran the front desk of a busy Santa Monica spa and after receiving my first facial fell in love with the skin care industry. I was completely aware of how great that first facial made me feel, and how much my skin glowed. I wanted to give that facial and a high-end level of service to others, so I sent myself to the Paul Mitchell Academy and received a license in esthetics. I left for Oregon after this and worked at a spa for 7 years. Moving back to California after, I heard from an esthetician friend that Queen Bee Salon and Spa were hiring for a full-time facialist, so I jumped on the opportunity!

I feel so lucky to be working at the hive and couldn’t be happier. I love everything about Queen Bee and it’s supportive environment. I’m fortunate to love what I do for a living and it’s my pleasure to help you with any skincare related issues you are having.

In my free time, I love spending time with family and friends, cooking, being at the beach, riding my bike, traveling to new places and vintage shopping.
