Hi! My name is Celeste, and I am a licensed cosmetologist with six years of professional experience built on creativity, discipline, and dedication. As a non-traditional student, I made the intentional decision to return to school in pursuit of greater knowledge and long-term impact. I am currently enrolled at Wake Technical Community College and have recently been accepted into North Carolina State University’s Architecture program. This next chapter represents more than an academic transition—it reflects my commitment to personal growth and my belief that it is never too late to reimagine one’s path. I look forward to combining my hands-on experience and artistic background with architectural studies to create meaningful, lasting contributions to the built environment and to people’s lives.
