I chose the hair industry because it lets me blend two things I love: art and people. Creating something beautiful is fulfilling, but doing it while forming connections is what makes this work meaningful. I love seeing the look in someone’s eyes when they feel seen—and helping them walk away not just with a new style, but with more confidence.

What I adore about Studio RK is how deeply we support each other. The owners genuinely have our backs—they offer ongoing education, understand our personal conditions, and care about our growth. We’re not just coworkers—we’re a family. That kind of environment lights me up and makes me excited to come to work every single day.

My clients are as much a part of my life as my work. I love the way we build relationships, get updates on what’s going on in their lives, and how even a haircut or color appointment becomes a space to connect, laugh, and celebrate who they are.
