Emerald Salon Collective

Proud Mama of 3 and a beauty coach. My love for animals and all things outdoors stems from my upbringing on a farm outside of Ankeny. I graduated from North Polk High School and went on to pursue a degree in Biotechnology. However, my love for hair and all things beauty wound me up at Iowa School of Beauty in 2002! I have had the opportunity to work at two amazing salons over my career. Through them I realized I can have it all by balancing time with family, work, and travel.

Outside of work you can find me at home with my hubby Brad, 6 year old twins (Penelope and Lola) and our baby (He's 3) Henry. I of course love to spend time at Target when I'm alone or shopping in The District. I like to unwind by baking and enjoying a glass of red wine on cold nights or a rose in the summer. I hope to see you in my chair soon and look forward to working on your hair!
