I am an NYC nail professional who is obsessed with giving the nail and beauty industry a better name, and that starts with education. I have over 20 years of actual, real nail experience (and yes, I still see clients in my Manhattan atelier) and my regular celebrity clients include Jessica Chastain, Camila Cabello and Emily Blunt, plus campaigns for brands like Gucci, CND, OPI, Essie, Chanel, Gucci, LeVian, Tiffany & Co and Urban Decay.
 
NYFW is part of my DNA and I have been a lead artist backstage for over 10 consecutive years and nearly 80 major shows like Oscar de la Renta, Thom Browne, Rodarte, and The Blonds. My clients have walked red carpets at every major awards show and my manicures have held statuettes from the SAG's, Emmy's, Golden Globes, and more than one Oscar. 
 
Most frequently teaching in-person, the requests to help fellow beauty professionals with business mindset and entrepreneurial skills skyrocketed in 2020, but there was one problem: there was only one of me.
 
So I decided to go digital and create my virtual classroom. In 2022, I launched Nailpreneur™️ to only sell out twice. I was hearing that what I taught was relevant to other beauty pros too (all part of my plan ;), so Beauty EntrePROneur™️ was the next launch. 
 
An experienced educator with over 13 years of teaching experience, I have testimonials to prove my student's incredible successes with landing A-list celebrity clients, major ad campaigns, new branding, rate increases, social media partnerships, and more.
