Associate Trainer

I love being part of an industry that’s constantly evolving. There are so many paths, possibilities, and ways to express your creativity—there’s truly something for everyone. I’ve always believed that no matter what brings you joy, there’s a place for you here.

I started my journey in a Summit school, and from the beginning, the structure gave me something solid to grow from. Over the years, every time I’ve stepped away from Summit systems, I’ve felt the shift. And every time I’ve returned to them, my income, progress, and confidence have picked back up. Now, eight years into owning a Summit salon, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful these tools are—not just for my own development, but for the growth of my entire team.

I’ve been a hairstylist for 15 years, a Redken artist for 10, and a salon owner for 8. Outside the salon, I’m passionate about breathing new life into old spaces—I serve on a downtown revitalization committee and love helping preserve historic buildings. I also run an alternative clothing boutique, and as a fun tradition, my husband and I take spooky anniversary trips every year, visiting haunted and historic locations.
