Growing up in Port Sydney/Huntsville, I was always trying to keep up with my two older brothers! I started dancing at just three years old at Muskoka Dance Academy, where I discovered my love for creativity and self-expression. Outside of dance, I’ve always loved fashion, experimenting with different clothing styles, and expressing my personality through what I wear. I also love getting creative with crafts and finding new ways to express myself. My love for beauty and creativity led me to Alberto’s Hair Salon, where I spent three amazing years learning about the salon industry from John. After he retired and a brief move to Barrie, I realized home was where I wanted to be. When the opportunity to join The Hudson came along, I knew it was the perfect fit! I love being part of a team that brings beauty, creativity, and confidence together. I can’t wait to welcome you to The Hudson and help make every visit a special one! ♡
