Hello there! I’m excited for this new journey as a Maven! Let me start by sharing some things about my professional background: I have been a licensed cosmetologist since 1996. I am proud to be a farmer’s daughter originally from southeastern Idaho. As a young adult, life took me to Michigan. I received my education as a stylist from the Aveda Institute at Douglas J in Lansing, MI. I spent 2 years working in an Aveda Concept Salon there before returning to my cherished Idaho. In Pocatello, I discovered my passion for teaching while working in a small concept salon. I began as an in-salon coach, eventually becoming a licensed instructor and salon owner. I briefly transitioned as a cosmetology instructor with Idaho State University. The pandemic prompted me to focus on our salon team and guests. Last year our circumstances changed, and we decided to close our salon. We are delighted that my husband has accepted a job promotion and have now relocated to the Boise area.

On a personal note, creativity runs through my veins! I am an antique collector and history enthusiast. I enjoy restoring old things and using them to add character to new spaces. We even renovated an old house into our salon! When I’m not styling hair, you can find me in the kitchen. Cooking and baking is my love language. I also enjoy working and playing in the sunshine. I am a Boston Redsox fan, proud boy mom, and wife to the best man I know. While my family life is transitioning into the empty-nest phase, I am eager to forge new connections with guests as well as my new salon family. More than anything else, my heart still beats for teaching. Given that when you teach…you learn lessons you didn’t know you needed.
