I was born in a small farming valley cradled between Montana’s Elkhorn and Big Belt Mountains, where the Missouri River winds through the land with quiet ease. Growing up in that landscape gave me a deep connection to nature, an understanding of the healing power of art, and a reverence for intention.

Hair found me like a language I already knew — a way to translate someone’s inner self into shape, texture, and color. It became less about “doing hair” and more about holding space: helping people see their worth in the mirror, uncovering styles that feel like home to their spirit, and using products that honor both the planet and the humans who touch it.

Now, as the Director of Education at Frequency Collective in Edmonds, WA, and an educator for Davines — a global B-Corp brand rooted in regenerative agriculture — I carry that same sense of purpose into teaching. I love keeping hairstylists inspired, building collections for hair shows, and sharing the kind of knowledge that sparks creativity for years to come. My hope is to make a lasting impact: to help artists grow, push boundaries, and create work that feels both deeply personal and beautifully communal.
