what was your journey to becoming an esthetician?

I always wanted to work in skincare after my mother, who was a nurse, worked for a dermatologist who specialized in skin cancer and got me addicted to wearing SPF daily. The dermatologist would bring samples of SPF from Australia and hand them out to the entire team. I kept asking my mother for more. I then started making my own sugar scrubs and oatmeal masks. After leaving for college and traveling in Europe, I bounced through several different industries: the fishing industry, natural foods, tech, banking, before becoming an esthetician. After working in esthetics for many years I took a break to help manage a high-end hair salon and work for the Seattle Opera in hair and makeup. I love this industry for how supportive it can be, how it is always changing, and for the magnificent women I work with. I am always learning.
