Tell us a bit about yourself!

Currently, I'm a PhD student studying Biochemistry and Biophysics at the University of Chicago! There's truly nothing I love more than solving problems and thinking about science. In fact, my fiancé (a med student) and I co-host a podcast, "Science in Society"! 

My life isn't all lab coats and chemicals, though! I held the title of Miss Illinois USA 2020 and placed Top 10 at Miss USA. Anyone who knows me would tell you I'm a very ambitious, hard-working person, but an absolutely goofball at heart.

Favorite color?

Does "neutrals" count...? 😂

Favorite fashion style?

Day-to-day, I'm all about comfy and practical for work. When I'm dressing up, I love a simple, clean silhouette with a statement accessory!

How would you describe your hair?

My hair is medium brown, medium length, and medium thickness! Just about as average as you can get – but there's nothing wrong with that! Wicked Roots lets me give my hair that "WOW" factor. 

What makes Wicked Roots Hair better than other extensions you’ve tried?

I've tried extensions before – from some really popular, highly-influenced brands, might I add – and the quality and texture of Wicked Roots is unmatched! No other hair has styled so effortlessly and felt so comfortable after several hours of wear.

Tell us a bit about yourself!

I am a fitness enthusiast, lover of all things beauty and fashion. I make it a point to enjoy sunny florida beach/pool days, love to travel, and experience different cultures.

Favorite fashion style?

Timeless with a bit of edge.

What’s your favorite look or hairstyle?

Tousled Waves.

What makes Wicked Roots Hair better than the rest?

I love how flat the clips are on the weft. It makes for a smoother application.

How did Wicked Roots change your views on hair extensions?

Wicked Roots is a great solution for me wanting longer hair at any moment. Now, I don’t have to wait for my hair to grow out. I love the versatility it offers!

Favorite Quote: “Life is what you make of it.” “Your thoughts are the blueprints to your life.”

What does a day in your life look like?

A day in my life always starts with a fresh iced matcha, leading into a good sweat sesh of a workout, then off to catch up on emails, collaborations, and content creation at home or my local cafe. After, I grab a quick (but healthy & nutritious) lunch out or at home, followed by play time and cuddles with my pup, the making of a nutritious and delicious meal at home, and a good movie or documentary to end the day and help unwind.

What does your hair routine look like?

I start by washing my hair, applying a bit of product, then move into a full on blow dry, and end curling with a big wand to help give the soft curl look. 

What are some of your hobbies?

My hobbies include…Cooking, traveling, working out, home and outfit styling, educating myself on nutrition, styling & hosting gatherings.

Does Wicked Roots make it easier for you to get ready?

It does! It helps to give me that fullness that’s hard to achieve without the extensions. It saves me time on having to style my hair in ways that don’t require lots of fullness. 

What makes you feel Wickedly beautiful?

Lots of things, self confidence, a warm and genuine smile, a genuine disposition, a great foundation and perfect shade lipstick (haha). But, let me tell you, these extensions absolutely help!
