Ever since I was a kid I knew the entrepreneurial world was the right fit for me. I started “being my own boss” once I graduated from hair school, I immediately went out on my own with one goal in mind. That was to work in the film industry as a independent celebrity stylist. I worked hard, put many hours into the industry and landed my first celebrity gig as the Kardashians personal hairstylist for a entire week of shooting for a Entertainment Tonight gig. From there on the doors opened and more film and tv opportunities came my way. My husband also works in the film industry as a animal wrangler and stunt man. This has trickled down to our two boys, ages 8 & 11. By the grace of God they also have had great acting and stunt opportunities at young ages. The Alberta Film Industry has definitely been good to my family, and for that I am grateful. As my boys get older I’m finding I want to be more present in their daily lives. I want to drive them to school, go cheer them on in the hockey and rodeo arena, help with homework, be home for dinner when I can. So I’ve scaled back from the long hours of film/tv set and I focus more on my entrepreneurial businesses that allows me to work from my home and on the go.
I work my hair salon business part time from my home & in between the nicks and crannies I run my online activewear shop with a team of extraordinary women all while helping my husband with our family cattle ranch.
Yes, my life can get pretty hectic some times but I find the fuller I find my days the more productive, organized and ambitious I am to stay on course. Constantly dipping into my creative side with hair and fashion keeps my heart happy and my soul content.
