In My Own Words
I’m incredibly passionate about the ski industry—this has been a dream of mine for years. While I’ve pursued a career in hair, nothing lights me up more than talking about skiing. It’s where my heart is, and I’m always the most energized when I get to share that passion with others. Working in the ski industry for years has make me want to follow my dreams of connecting with people who share the same passion as me.
