ABOUT
ME

Either way, six months later I was still there and wanting to grow my skills and become a groomer. Through obstacles and 'grooming school' that was offered by the store, I became the Salon Manager within the following 5 years. I was given no tools to learn how to be a manager, but I gave it two more years before I found myself looking for another job.

 

I found a job working at a small salon doing all the tasks an owner should do on top of my job responsibilities. I had so many ideas I wanted to accomplish, but I didn't have the control as I wasn't the owner. I moved to another shop closer to my home, working both in the salon and retail area. I learned I loved every second of the experience as well as the ins and outs of a successful business. I was ready to start hatching a plan for a business all my own.

 

I started taking business classes at a local community college. I took any and every class I could that I knew I could grow from. All of them helped to really start building my plan. I consulted with colleagues to get tips and advice from them, but nothing prepared me for the official launch.

 

Some laughter, tears, and several years later, here I am and I love it. It is now my turn to give back and share my knowledge to help others have a smoother path and not deal with the stumbles I did. I am excited to have you in my classes and courses.
