How did you get involved with wrestling?

I'm the Jr High Head coach for Trinity Girls Wrestling.

What do you do professionally? Tell a little about your professional journey.  Feel free to promote yourself or your company/business. Include website, etc.

I'm a hairstylist and the owner of Privè Salon. I've been a hairstylist for 17 years and was an educator for L'Oréal Professional for 12 years.

What made you choose that path and why do you enjoy it?

I love making people feel good about themselves. I love getting to connect with my clients on a deeper level. It's the best feeling watching my clients leave with a renewed confidence and how happy they are to take on the rest of their day. If I could bottle that feeling, I'd be a billionaire.

How did wrestling prepare you for your professional career? What were the intangible benefits you learned through the sport (discipline, goal-setting, commitment, resilience, etc)?

It's actually the other way around for me. I didn't get the opportunity to wrestle because there weren’t girls wrestling opportunities in PA while I was growing up. I did play softball though. My brother was an excellent wrestler, so I've gotten to see first-hand the character it builds. But my career has helped me to become a leader, build a unique confidence in myself, and curated the ability to work with all personalities.
