Career biography: My professional journey began in entrepreneurship, but I ultimately found my true calling in the beauty industry. Over the years, I have grown from a practicing nail artist into an international educator, championship judge & mentor.

In 2026, my team completed a Guinness World Records™ title attempt for the world’s longest nail extension (15 feet). For me, this profession is about much more than technical skill. It is an opportunity to inspire others, bring talented professionals together & contribute to the growth of the global nail industry.

I believe that success comes through dedication, continuous learning & helping others grow. Beyond my professional career, I am a wife, a mother & someone who values family, integrity & lifelong learning. Whether I am working on international collaborations, mentoring artists or pursuing ambitious goals, I strive to make a positive impact through creativity, professionalism & genuine human connection.

Why you believe in nail competitions?: I believe in nail competitions because they challenge artists to grow, improve their skills & gain confidence. They bring professionals together, raise industry standards & open doors to new opportunities.

Advice to competitors: My Advice for Competitors * Compete with yourself first, not with others. * Read the rules carefully - details matter. * Practice under the same time limits as the competition. * Stay calm & trust your preparation. * Listen to judges’ feedback - it is one of the fastest ways to grow. * Winning is wonderful, but every competition is an investment in your future. * Most importantly, enjoy the process & be proud that you had the courage to step onto the competition floor.
