Where did you go to school and how did you get into the industry?
While working at a health club in Bellevue, I was befriended by a massage therapist who introduced me to the spa industry. At the time I was taking classes with the intentions of becoming a teacher, but practicing aesthetics sounded more appealing. I literally enrolled at the Euro Institute of Skincare in Renton on a whim and it quickly became my passion. A few years later I decided to obtain my Instructors license through the Aveda Institute in Seattle. I taught full-time for a couple of years and now provide continuing education for licensed professionals in the industry.

What do you like to do when you are not working?
Between work and school, my days are pretty consumed, but I love spending downtime with my family which includes my husband, daughter, and our squishy senior pug Olive. I love working out, listening to podcasts, road trips, weekend getaways, and drinking good coffee.
