How did you get started in the industry? Tell us about your competition / creative work!

I always knew I enjoyed taking care of others, and had an eye for detail. I figured Esthetics was a good place to start!

What brought you to Revelstoke, BC?

I was born and raised here, and only moved away to get my certificate.

What do you love about your job?

I love getting to know people on a deeper level. Hearing their stories always leaves me with new perspectives and can leave me feeling inspired in my own life as well. 

Favourite service to offer?

Head-spa is a new favourite service of mine! I enjoy bringing deep relaxation into my treatments.

What are your predictions for hair/makeup in 2026? What would you love to see more of in your day?

Trends come and go but a good skin routine is here to stay, always. I would love to give more facials and head-spas to my clients in 2026.

What are your favourite products currently, and why?

My favourite products currently are:

•Bush Balm Ingrown Hair Oil

•Green Envee Restore Hydration Masque

•Green Envee Soothe Cleanser 

These products are great for building up a healthy skin barrier and restoring hydration to the skin. The ingrown hair oil is a game changer for those who struggle with irritations post hair removal.

Top ice cream flavour?

Cotton candy ice cream or Earl grey if I’m feelin’ fancy.

What do you love doing in your spare time?

I enjoy doing yoga, golf, and paddle boarding in my spare time. — Summer all the way!

What are you reading right now?

I am currently reading Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty. 

Tell us something that may surprise people?

I’m a Revelstoke local and I don’t ski or snowboard! — No I don’t sled either!
