I am the owner and operator of both drybar Nashville locations. I opened my first shop at Capitol View in May 2019 and the second shop at Brentwood Hill Center just five months later in October 2019. In addition, I have successfully navigated these new businesses through a global pandemic.

My inspiration for opening the first drybar in Nashville was personal, drybar is my happy place! I spent many years traveling for work and visiting drybar in different cities. Instead of trying to find the best hotel, I found myself looking for the hotel closest to drybar. I became addicted to the experience at drybar and the confidence I’d gain from a blowout for my meetings & presentations.

Being a franchise owner, especially during the pandemic, has been a WILD ride. I am passionate about sharing what I’ve learned with other people interested in owning a franchise or their own business.

I have over 15 years of experience in brand partnerships, television production, talent booking & PR, giving me a well rounded understanding of entertainment and how the puzzle pieces fit together.

Prior to making the jump into entrepreneurship, I worked as Director of Brand Content & Partnerships at the Emmy Award Winning, The Ellen DeGeneres Show & The Ellen Digital Network where I managed ELLEN’s sales team through the entire sales process: initial pitch, contract negotiations, on-air execution & client management. Our clients included: Visa, Mercedes Benz, Dreamworks Animation, CoverGirl, Dunkin’ Donuts, Ford Motor Company, Nordstrom and more.

Previously, as Talent Executive, I secured 300+ A-List talent bookings for TV, film, and sports where I quickly realized my love of negotiating and amplifying the opportunities that talent had being on The Ellen Show.

My career began at the #1 entertainment new magazine, CBS’s Entertainment Tonight and I was instrumental in the launch of the all-new, millennial targeted show The Insider. I worked directly with on-air talent, managing production staff and creating daily content.

I graduated from Mississippi State University with a BA degree in Broadcast Journalism.

More recently, I have decided to share my expertise through Miss Pink Media. For the past two years, I have been doing project-based consulting work for brand and talent clients alike. Some of my work has included:

-Sales training

-Mentorship sessions with sales and partnership teams

-Agency brainstorming sessions for client work and partnerships

-Advise sales and pitching strategy for brands and creative projects

-Creative Development for special projects

-Personal Brand Development

-Media Training & Mock Interviews and more.
