Teacher expertise and credentials
My journey in cosmetology started early, as I began braiding at around eight or nine years old. By the time I was a tween, I was already deeply involved in hairstyling, a passion that led me to attend cosmetology school seventeen years ago. Holding a cosmetology license, I officially opened my hair business nine years ago, where I've had the pleasure of styling and connecting with countless women.
In addition to my hands-on experience, I've ventured into various educational initiatives. I've sold my own hair products, facilitated a homeschool girls group for young children, and introduced homeschool programs at the library. I'm also a homeschool mom of two and I've integrated hair education into their curriculum. Furthermore, my degree in Human Services, spanning a decade, enhances my ability to connect with and assist others effectively.
Beyond my professional life, I find joy in spending time with my family, exploring new places through travel, relishing good meals, connecting with nature, diving into fantasy books, and indulging in the art of crocheting clothing.
Joining Outschool is an exciting opportunity for me to share my wealth of experience, from hairstyling to homeschooling and beyond. I'm eager to bring my enthusiasm for learning and creativity to your child's educational journey.
