I believe that Education is the lighting of a fire. – Yeats

Passing the spark of knowledge brings  life to those around you.

I have been described as a educator inside and out. Sharing my experiences, talents and knowledge is my passion. A memory that has always stuck with me is handing brush rollers to my grandma before I could even walk.  Seeing her connection with her clients, I understood that she was transform people inside and out. It was so powerful to me; an art! I wanted to be just like her.
I’ve worked in the field of cosmetology for as long as I have memories.
My eye has always been drawn to style and fashion and I have pursued that passion through many venues.
As an educator, I  have held my Master Cosmetology Instructor licence for over 25 years and have prior experience of instruction at Western Area Technology Center.   I studied Education and Chemistry from the University of Oklahoma and University of Central Oklahoma; graduating with a degree in elementary education. I have taught early childhood/elementary  education in four private schools.  As a stylist, I have held managing stylist positions at 5 salons throughout the state of Oklahoma, while I am currently hold a  position as a colourist here in Tulsa. I have also worked with many haircolor brands within their education department, specialising with the Framesi color family for over 10 years and have preformed on stage with many styling product companies throughout the United States. As an entrepreneur, I have owned a personal stylist business for over 15 years and am presently a managing personal stylist at J. Crew in my spare time.
Teaching here at Jenks Beauty College fulfils my love for helping others create a business out of their passion and talents.
