Having It All Means Losing some Things Along the way!

The Not-So-Secret Story of My Successes, Struggles and Failures
1990
Born in Ohio.
1995–2009
Grew up in Texas and proudly answered to “band nerd” and “color guard captain.” My dream was to become a famous actress.
2009–2010
Moved to LA to launch my acting career—but instead of roles, I got rejections. My confidence was shattered, I was broke, and I realized my passion was less about acting and more about the art of transformation.
2010–2017
Worked as a makeup artist and hair stylist for some of the biggest brands and celebrities—think Mariah Carey, Bloomingdales, Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders, Famous Footwear, LeAnn Rimes and ESPN Body Issue. Learned what it takes to be an art director.
2013
Married Travis, mi amor and best friend.
2015–2016
Co-Founded my first brand—Makeup Artists Unleashed—and produced events across the country. I certified hundreds of makeup artists through my workshops and built up more $ in my bank account than I’d ever seen.
Sept 2017
Crashed. I burned out on the constant event production lifestyle. My relationship with my business partner (and best friend) tanked—my business and friendship both ended. I lost my Grammy, the person who I was closest to in the whole world. The weight of it all was too much, it affected me and my husband, and we started marriage counseling.
2017
Reinvented myself and launched Beauty Boss Network. I continued to produce beauty-preneur events but concentrated on building an online community. My life felt aligned for the first time in years—my business was flourishing and I thought I’d found my path.

 But then it hit me. I was doing what my family had been doing for decades, so why wasn’t I doing it with them? That’s when I sold my company to their company (eWomenNetwork) and joined the family business full time.
2020
Became a mother to Tati and proudly added #mompreneur to my social.
2019-NOW
Spoke on stages across the country to thousands about everything from AI to social media, branding to digital marketing, and content strategies to body image. 
Into the Future
I will become CEO of the family business and continue the legacy of eWomenNetwork, helping one million women entrepreneurs each achieve one million dollars in annual revenue.

WARDROBE Please!

For everyone who looks forward to seeing what I’ll wear almost as much as hearing what I’ll say.
