I fell in love with Aveda close to 20 years ago.  I remember being 19 and spending my last $20 on Purifying Gel Cleanser instead of groceries.  I alway had my haircut at  Aveda concept salons, even when I couldn’t afford it.  I purchased a new product each visit. I have always believed in Aveda’s mission  and commitment to developing life affirming,  sustainable products.

After studying horticulture for a number of years, I began a science degree, as it seemed like the logical next step in my path to finding a career.  It was after only one semester I decided to follow my passion for environmental accountability and the curative use of plants.   I moved to Victoria to study Cosmetology at The Aveda Institute Victoria.

I never cared much for doing hair.  But, felt inspired by previous hairstylists and their ability to transform people.  I knew that a career within the Aveda network was something I would feel good about.  And, by the time I finished school I was in love with hair.  I spent a short time in Vancouver studying advanced hair cutting and colouring techniques before retuning to Victoria and finding a chair in a downtown concept salon.

Late in 2009 I decided to work on my own and travel to my clients.  Because of my mobility and love for styling, I began working with planners and brides for weddings and events. I help women enhance their natural beauty with my artistry.  I am surrounded by love, emotion, beauty and support.  I work with people who are unbelievably talented. I love my job.
