Two years ago, I recognized the importance of pursuing a career that I felt truly passionate about. With a long-standing interest in art and creativity, I decided to pursue cosmetology, where I discovered my love for the hair industry. I recently graduated from The Temple in Frederick and am now a licensed cosmetologist.
I first came across Ash + Oak during my time in school and was immediately drawn to the welcoming atmosphere and strong sense of community curated by the owner and team. Eager to learn from such a talented group, I sought the opportunity to join the team, and I am excited to see what the future holds for me here.
In my future, I plan to become certified in extensions and continue expanding my knowledge in dimensional color and specialty cutting. While I have a broad love for all aspects of hair, these are the areas I’m most passionate about and intend to specialize in.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and my golden retriever, Oakley. My hobby is finding new hobbies - I love to read, crochet, sew, and binge watch shows. I would also love any opportunity to travel in my future.

I strive to specialize in dimensional color and extension services. Some classes I plan to take one day are the Vidal Sassoon ABC cutting, The Blonde Chronicles, Masters of Balayage, Great Lengths Certification and 901 Academy extension class.
