I was a hair salon owner for 30 years in Staten Island, New York, and one of the first females to receive the Master of the Craft award in Hairdressing. I continue to travel back to service my dedicated clients.

Born and raised in Brooklyn, New York.

I always loved art and wanted to become a graphic designer. I attended the School of Visual Arts in NYC.

I immediately go to the ocean and meditate.

Princess Diana. Her activism and glamour made her an international icon. She was a pioneer in charity work.

Dry Tortugas National Park is the best hidden gem. The word “Tortuga” means turtle in Spanish, and here you will find a large number of Sea Turtles, after which these islands were named.

Each day its something new. You get to meet new people, different unique properties. You never stop learning and have a chance to ease stress and burden for my clients to help them get where they want to go.

There is nothing difficult when you love your job and have a game plan. Confidence is the key to success.

Be consistent with marketing, social media and networking, branding yourself to develop a professional identity that sets you apart from others. Most importantly, just be honest and genuine with clients.

I watched the Netflix series, The Parisian Agency. Re-reading Think and Grow Rich and listening to Broke Agent Media.

Cote in the Design District. Love the food, ambiance and crowd. Korean barbecue brings out the Korean in me!

Park Central Hotel on Ocean Drive. This beautiful Art Deco building is called the “Blue Jewel of Miami,” and it was the first hotel I stayed when I visited many years ago.

A client was about to faint while I was talking to her. And no, it was not about the price.

How much I love the water and ocean. I don’t know how to swim and even took lessons a long time ago.

I will and always love London. The weather isn’t the greatest but love its culture, museums, architecture and its people.
