I graduated from Tricoci University in Urbana in May of 2023 and was the first student to graduate as a licensed cosmetologist.

I have been in pageants since I was 4 years old and loved how getting my hair and makeup done made me feel. So, I knew I wanted to do something that made people feel and see how beautiful they are. I have done my friend’s hair and makeup in school for dances and just knew that cosmetology was where my heart was at.
