EDUCATION AND EVENTS
Education That
Inspires Growth.
Education has always been at the heart of what I do in the professional nail industry.
From hands-on classes and student education to trade shows, brand training, and industry events, my goal is to make education practical, approachable, and valuable in the real world.

EDUCATOR & FOUNDER
HER APPROACH
Learning. Growing. Connecting.
Education has always been at the heart of what I do in the professional nail industry. From teaching hands-on classes and working directly with students to educating at trade shows with en Vogue Nails and Profiles Backstage, I love creating opportunities for nail professionals to learn, grow, and connect.
My work also includes distributor and sales team training, product knowledge education, educator development, and helping professionals better understand the products and systems they use behind the desk.
Beyond brand education, I create and host my own industry events, including Nailcation and the Nail Tech Christmas Party, bringing nail professionals together for education, networking, creativity, and community.
Whether I’m working with one student, a classroom, a distributor, or an entire event, my goal is the same: to make education practical, approachable, and valuable in the real world.
