My Story

It started in 2006.

I began my career in cosmetology in 2006 with a passion for helping people feel confident, beautiful, and empowered. Over the past 20 years, I've expanded my expertise across nails, lashes, brows, permanent makeup, and advanced aesthetic services, while keeping a steady commitment to education, safety, and doing the work right.

Sparkle Shine Academy of Aesthetics was created to share that knowledge, to mentor future beauty professionals and help others build successful careers while serving their own clients with the highest regard and care.

A little about me.

I'm a proud mom of two amazing boys and a lifelong believer in growth, resilience, and helping others feel their best. Outside the studio you'll find me outdoors, with animals and horses, traveling, gardening, painting, or soaking in a good hot springs. We only live once.

I grew up in Pleasant Grove, Utah and have called Vernal home for many years. My faith, gratitude, and commitment to personal growth guide both my life and my business. I believe every person deserves to feel expressed, seen, valued, and confident in their own skin.
