Career biography: I moved to the USA from Ukraine in 2016, bringing with me a foundation in European nail techniques. Upon discovering my passion for creativity in the US, I embarked on a journey that led to the opening of my first nail salon in 2019. This was also the year I began teaching nail classes & earned my license as a nail instructor. Today, I am a proud CEO of two nail salons, a nail supply store & a nail school where I teach classes in Combined Gel Manicure, Gel Extensions & nail art & also prepare future nail artists for Illinois state licensing. I'm also an educator for a well know gel brand in the USA. My commitment to professional growth extends beyond my own achievements. I am dedicated to helping other nail technicians thrive & I am proud to have supported many of my team members in becoming educators & competition winners. I'm excited to explore the endless possibilities within the nail industry & inspire others to reach their full potential.
Personal biography: When I'm not working, I love to spend time with my husband & our son, read books & enjoy life to the fullest.
