My Favorite Things:
•Travel- My favorite hobby is collecting stamps in my passport! I love exploring other countries and cultures. Travel is the one of greatest educators.
•Family Time- I come from a large family so I love getting together for Sunday dinners and family gatherings. I am mom to a teenage son and a fur baby girl.
•Hair & Beauty- I’ve been licensed as a cosmetologist for 20 years and I utilize those skills as another avenue for helping clients become the best version of themselves!
