In Her Words

What do you like about working for Z Hair Academy?

I like working for Z Hair Academy because they really care about the success of their students and staff.
What is your favorite hair product?

My favorite products are L’Oreal Professionnel Inforcer Shampoo and Conditioner, which give my hair a nice shine with lots of volume. My favorite leave-in product is Surface CHAR Gel Mousse, which provides a nice hold without making my hair sticky.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

I enjoy reading books, watching new shows and spending time with my husband, three older boys, two dogs and a cat. We like to grill food and eat around our fire pit.
What is something you liked to do as a child?

I knew I wanted to go into cosmetology at an early age. I got into trouble for cutting my sister’s dolls’ hair, which meant replacing them with my allowance money.
What will people be surprised to know?

People will be surprised to know that I love gardening. My grandmother always planted a bunch of flowers every year, and planting flowers makes me feel close to her.
What is your favorite band?

My favorite band of all time is Lynyrd Skynyrd. My son blasts the music, and we dance around the house being silly.
