Bio
Becoming a cosmetologist was never supposed to be my permanent career. In the early 2000s my dream was to be an architect. At the time, moving away to go to school was not an option and, Nashville, being a lot smaller of a city at the time, did not have the type of schooling available to do what I had in mind. So I went to cosmetology school in hopes of moving away, and doing hair to pay for life and the college I would need to further my pursuit of architectural engineering. But the universe had its own plan for me! Fast forward a few years & 3 baby boys later, here I am! I’m not an architect, but I’d never be able to imagine life any differently. My calling was not just doing hair, but helping people to feel great about themselves.

In my spare time, I love to work outdoors in my yard. Planting flowers, cutting grass, and landscaping. With my 3 boys, we love traveling, camping, canoeing, beaching, and attending small live music shows.

I started working in my first hair salon when I was 16 years old as a receptionist. I quickly became interested in what the stylists were doing. I found myself wanting to learn more, not only about the technical skills of being a professional stylist, but also the business side of the salon. I graduated high school and attended college for business. Then I went to Paul Mitchell, where I started my career in cosmetology! I love making people laugh and smile. That is my number one goal for each day! When I am not at the salon, I enjoy spending time with my friends and family on the lake. But my heart belongs to my American Bully Kane!

I chose cosmetology because it was something that always came to me naturally and I got tired of chasing careers that didn’t bring me joy. My best friend convinced me to move to Nashville with her from our small town in fort Myers Florida and I joined cosmetology school and now I’m living the dream! My parents along with my 4 brothers all still live in Florida so I still get to travel to the beach frequently, YAY! Outside of the salon I live a pretty quiet life with occasional girls nights! My life mantra is todays challenges lead to tomorrows successes!

Right out of highschool, I went to a web design/programming but it ended up not being for me. After working with kids and thinking I would become a teacher, my friends told me that I was really creative, and that I should take a shot at beauty school!

A fun fact about me is that my sister’s name is Ebony, but we aren’t twins!

My joke to my guests: “You don’t want to know how long I’ve been doing this!” Let’s just say I’m well-seasoned… or insert any other phrase that gives the idea of longevity, without giving away my age. What do I do in my free time? Well, that’s a loaded question. When I do have time, I enjoy traveling, going to museums, skeet shooting, and anything to do with dogs. I love my rowing classes and volunteering for Book-Em Reading Group to help incite reading in elementary schools.

Just pretend you read something awesome just now, and come visit me at Studio Gaven already!
