As a strategic leader I developed a unique center from the ground up; growing and expanding from a traditional salon to a hair restoration center in only 9 years. Working as a operations manager required me to establish goals, draft business cases, analyze financial projections, forecast trends, implement processes, maintain inventory controls, and address customer concerns. The operations experience continued to hone my business skills while on my motherhood hiatus from the corporate world. The business model produced continual growth for over 17 years. It was heavily influenced by my marketing campaigns and customer-centric approach. As a business salon coach, clinical trainer, and continuing education provider, I sought to provide the guidance and education necessary to help owners escape the common pitfalls endured in the sustainability of a company.

I was a continuing education provider for the Georgia State Board of Cosmetology and Barbers. I was also a USA Clinical Trainer for the International Association of Trichologists in Sydney, Australia.
