Hello, I'm a true retail/marketing 'junkie'! I earned my Bachelor Degree in Marketing (1991) and became a licensed Cosmetologist (2014). Currently, I'm a hair stylist/designer in Bristol, RI (I love it!!). Before landing my 'dream job' as a hair stylist/designer, I owned an upbeat FuNky gift shop on the waterfront in this same town from 2000-2011 (StudioSix). I worked at Nordstrom on their management team in their Salon/Designer Shoe Department (2011-2013) in Chicago & Providence. In August of 2011, I finished writing and self-published a joyful inspirational book about (my) life... Over Nachos The HaPpY-food that fuels my soul... My mission for writing this book is to inspire, to relate, to entertain (to possibly turn into a screenplay), to bond (motivational, positive energy speaker), to heal, and to continue to grow. I have a PASSION for life and a need to connect with others so they feel inspired, safe, and happy. I enjoy traveling every chance I get!
