My Story

​

Hey fashion queens! I’m thrilled to share a bit about my journey and what drives my passion. I proudly call Chicago, Illinois home, and I hold a degree in fashion merchandising and design from Illinois State University. My career began in various retail positions, and along the way, launched a  jewelry and accessories business before transitioning to a solid corporate role in product development.

After a decade of the 9-to-5 grind, losing my job in 2024 was a pivotal moment that fueled my determination to reconnect with my true purpose. I seized the opportunity to dive back into my passion for style, creativity, and independence by launching my personal styling business. Throughout my life, style has been my ultimate form of self-expression and a source of belonging. It was during my late 20s and early 30s that I realized I wanted my style to convey powerful messages of self-acceptance, empowerment, and the courage to live authentically. I firmly believe that our inner and outer selves can harmonize beautifully through style and curation. Style is not just about what you wear; it’s about how each piece tells your story—a bold statement that reflects who you are, where you’re headed, and what you stand for.

At A'LA CURATE, our mission is clear: we empower women to curate wardrobes that embody their unique style while prioritizing mindfulness, functionality, and versatility. We champion self-empowerment, authenticity, and emotional fulfillment, helping women confidently express their personal brand and unlock their potential in every area of their lives.
