every woman should feel beautiful and seen.
"I've been in the image industry for over 30 years and it all began in Miami, Florida, where I graduated from college with a degree in Fashion Merchandising. After working a few years as a buyer and manager for a specialty store's cosmetic department, I ventured out on my own and opened an image consulting firm.
I became FASCINATED with color when Color Me Beautiful blew onto the scene...I could NOT get enough of learning about it! I was trained in the 4 seasons system, and later, the 12 seasons system until I developed my own system years later.
Eventually, I moved to North Carolina where I started speaking and writing (after spending seven years in Mary Kay where I earned 3 pink Cadillacs until God called me out on my own). In 2010, my first book came out ("Good Girls Don't Have to Dress Bad") and that's the same year I started the Christian Image Consultant Academy. The Color Academy began a few years ago to keep up with the demand of women wanting to be trained in Color Analysis.
The desire of my heart is that every woman would develop a deep understanding of her personal style and her best colors so she can reflect her true identity and remain relevant in today’s visual world."
