As I’m sitting here looking at the keyboard, I’m struggling to find the right words to capture all of the feels…I have to start somewhere. That said, here it goes **deep breathes** 💕🥹

After 20 incredible years with Aveda Education, I’m beginning a new chapter. While my journey with the brand has come to an end, I will always be grateful for the experiences, relationships, lessons, and—most importantly—the people who have shaped me along the way.

It’s hard to put into words just how much this chapter has meant to me. When I look back, I think about the countless memories, the laughs, the unforgettable moments, and the truly amazing people I’ve had the privilege of meeting and working alongside.

So many of you started as colleagues and became dear friends. Together, we’ve shared challenges, celebrated successes, learned from one another, and created memories that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I’m incredibly grateful to have connected with and impacted so many people throughout this journey—and equally grateful for the impact so many of you have had on me.

As this chapter comes to a close, I’m looking ahead with excitement and optimism. I truly believe that endings can create space for new paths, unexpected possibilities, and growth we may never have imagined.

I don’t know exactly what the future holds, but I’m excited to embrace it and see where this next chapter leads.

Here’s to the memories, the friendships, the laughter, and all the people who made these last two decades so special.

And here’s to new beginnings, unexpected possibilities, and whatever the future may bring.

And as for Aveda, it’s not goodbye—it’s simply until next time. 💕

Wow, 20 incredible years with and have flown by!!! As the countdown began, I realized this journey has been my longest commitment outside of friends and family. 😂 I'm truly humbled to work alongside the most talented individuals in (and not limited to) Aveda salons, institutes, stores, and corporate. Thank you for enriching my life, both personally and professionally. 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 ❤️

In honor of Earth Month, I wanted my nails to represent clean water. From clean drinking water to clean lakes, rivers, and oceans. I feel proud to work for a brand that has supported countless efforts to bring clean water access to all!
