A little about me, I'm from Missouri and grew up in a small town.  I was in the military for 6 years and a culinary specialist, so I love to cook!  I decided I needed a change, moved home and started to plan.  My best friend and I refurbished a 1995 camper and headed West.  we endeavored many experiences that will last a lifetime along the way.


It has been a blessing and honor to get to experience the PNW.  Thank you for taking the time to get to know me,  I hope to see you in my chair!

Hello everyone!

I graduated from Paul Mitchell this past summer and am very excited to be beginning my career at Salon Riviera. From a young age, I have always enjoyed doing hair. I was often found trying new hairstyles or doing my teammates hair on my sports teams. When I began to think about my future career, I knew I wanted a job that would allow me to open myself up creatively, while also building meaningful relationships with people. Choosing hair styling has given me the opportunity to combine both my fondness of doing hair and also my desire to make a difference. 


When I’m not at the salon, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, being involved in church, and spending time being active outside. I look forward to spending more time alongside talented stylists and our wonderful clients!
