Since graduating from the Professional Esthetician program, I have been fortunate enough to have worked on board several cruise ships including Carnival and Norwegian Cruise Lines as a Beauty Therapist. I have had endless opportunities to travel the world, explore countries and immerse myself in different cultures all while doing something that I am passionate about. Versailles has opened so many doors for me and my future.
