Q. Who are your greatest influences or role models? And, why?

A. My parents, who taught me by example that anything is possible through hard work, determination and passion, and my Yiayia and Papou who fearlessly emigrated to America to follow their hearts and dreams.

Q. What do you believe is your role in the world around you?

A. To bring people together and foster connections within the world around me, wherever life takes me. 

Q. What are you most passionate about professionally? Personally?

A. Professionally, I’m passionate about helping people recognize their inner beauty by enhancing their natural, outer beauty. I believe in embracing individuality, celebrating self expression, and that beauty, however you define it, is empowering. I want everyone to leave my chair feeling radiantly beautiful from the inside out! Personally, I’m passionate about spending quality time with my partner and our two dogs, staying connected with my loved ones in Philadelphia, and getting inspired through travel, art, music, fashion, and the outdoors.
Q. What do you think are the best skills that you bring to your job?

A. My keen eye for detail paired with creative flair and over a decade of experience. Additionally, my compassion for humanity and my sense of humor. I love to laugh and bring joy to others, listen, and am always striving for perfection! 
Q. What would be your personal motto?

A. Always stay true to who you are. Embrace yourself fully, fearlessly and unapologetically. There is no one else like you.

Q. If we went to happy hour, what would you order? 

A spicy margarita. It’s a fiery twist on a classic, just like me!
