A friend of mine from high school told me once that she never, for one day, regretted her choice to become a stylist. That thought stuck with me for a long time because I don't know that I had heard many people say it. I was in a corporate career for several years, and I know I didn't say anything like that.

Years later, I find myself thinking the same thing as my friend Tracy. This is as rewarding a job as jobs come. I get to see some of my favorite people every couple of months and some of my other favorites ever day in the stations around me.

I am always excited to try new things, but I also enjoy that I have clients happy enough with my consistency to say, "Same-as-last-time!" I love what I do, and I believe that shows in the quality of all my work.
