A cosmetic chemist and product developer with over 7 years of experience in the beauty industry. My mission is to use my background in chemistry and personal care to make a lasting impact on the beauty industry. I've developed award-winning products at top companies like L'Oreal USA. As a mentor, I enjoy inspiring the next generation to do the same. Known as a #girlynerd for my passion for innovation, my goal is to empower others to succeed in the industry.
