Hometown: Detroit. Florida home: St. Petersburg. Occupation: Appearance consultant for television anchors, including NBC-2 and ABC-7 in Fort Myers. Most frequent request: Fix the female anchor's hairstyle. "It's disheartening that it's almost always women [who require my services]." Family life: Married 20 years to Aaron, an assistant pastor who also works with the nonprofit Abilities of Florida. "He's a giver in all ways of the word." Snap judgments: "It's not necessarily fair, but people judge you by your appearance first, then they listen to what's in your head." Rule to live by: A makeover should reflect the individual. "The No. 1 concern of the talent is that I'm going to cut her hair. If she's active and likes to pull her hair into a ponytail-why would I cut that off?" Guilty pleasure: Deep-discount and thrift shopping in New York City. On-the-job training: "First-time anchors learn the performance portion of their job and think that will carry them-but they look like hell while they're telling the story." What's next: Working with on-air talents at news stations in Virginia and San Antonio. Trendy advice: "Pay attention to trends, but be honest with yourself (and age-appropriate), and you can make it work for you." Defining her style: "I have a funky style, and that's my artistic background. But I have learned to pull it in." To every woman: "Be willing to recreate your look. I can't say that enough."
