professional summary
I have a varied background and love change, new adventures and challenges. I became a hair stylist at 18, put myself through college while working full time and received a BBA in Entrepreneurship. Then, I opened a full service salon that I owned and operated for 5 years.
After having our 2nd child and knowing I wanted more children, I sold my business. For 18 years I was home with our 4 children, doing all things child, home, school & sports related. I also volunteered consistently in our schools, church and community, including creating websites and managing large fundraising projects.
In 2018, I went back to work in the industry I loved, working part-time as a salon receptionist. A year later, I was a full-time manager in a very busy, 26 stylist, commission salon.
In 2020, like so many people, I wanted change. During my years of raising children and volunteering, I discovered a love for creating websites. I found online courses that taught me valuable technical skills to create a new career path.
Today, I combine years of experience in the salon and small business industries and working with non-profits with my technical skills. I'm passionate about helping small businesses and organizations develop their brand, marketing, online presence and ultimately grow their businesses and give their organization more exposure.

interests
When I'm not working I love spending time with friends + family, watching live music + movies with my husband, taking long walks, reading and practicing yoga. I also love to travel and spend time in the beautiful mountains of Colorado.
