My journey in the beauty industry began in 2015, when I took the exciting step to explore my talents and passion for cosmetology. Prior to licensing, I was a business administration and fashion designer student who was still figuring life and Growth.
By 2016 I quickly built a small reputation in my local community prior and after graduation. This experience led me to become a Lash and Brow Salon administrator in one of the many stores inside Puerto Rico’s iconic "Plaza Las Américas" mall.
Things took a turn after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. As many puertorrican flew out the island to seek a better lifestyle, the company I worked for gave me an incredible opportunity and so I took it.
They asked me to help expand their vision to the United States by opening new stores and making sure they were fully operational with trained staff.
It was a big challenge, but Challenge is my middle name so I embraced it. My journey eventually brought me to Columbus, Ohio, which became my last stop. I took a leap of faith in my personal life and decided to stay here in the U.S., where I began working as a professional makeup artist, coach, and supervisor at Sephora Inside JC Penney for almost 3 years.
During this time I performed countless makeup, and skincare services for customers, Became the staff and clients, Senior coach in supervised Sales, marketing, services and products education.
It was in between that time that the COVID-19 pandemic hit the U.S., and changed everything.
During that time, I welcomed my first child into the world. (Yep!she was part of the famous COVID Baby boom) This new chapter inspired me to take a step back from retail and beauty services to focus on my family. It was not so hard the decision as motherhood took over me naturally, and I was determined to rewrite generational history in my personal life.
Not long after becoming a mom, I decided to start my very own in-home childcare business. This allowed me to give my child—and the children I cared for—the full attention, love, and education they needed, while still having the opportunity of working in my personal growth as a entrepreneur .
As my small business flourished and stabilized over the years, I realized how much I missed my roots in the beauty industry. So in 2022, I decided it was time to refresh my skills and dive back into the world of beauty. I embraced new techniques and trends, bringing all my services back as an independent beauty specialist.
These days, I’m juggling two passions—working on my first business that allowed me to raise my children and explore full control of what it is entrepreneurship and the creation of what I decrate will be my second empire andthe business of my dreams.
It's been a rewarding, and incredible life journey, with ups and downs, sweat and tears.
I have learned so much through this process of growth thatI can't wait to share it with you and make you part of my journey.
