What makes you smile?
I smile the most when a service I provided left a positive reflection on the guest.
Favorite saying or quote?

What brought you to Bella on the Bay?
Believe it or not, summer of 2021, I decided I didn’t want to do hair anymore.
3 months in a desk job I knew I’d made a huge mistake. I took my time looking for the right fit.
I am so thankful Missi listened to my story and welcomed me home to Bella.

Cooking! Its more of a natural talent than a hidden talent but it’s so fun for me to be able to find a new way to express my new creativity and try new things without having an agenda.
