My name is Maria Gonzalez, and I’m a proud Puerto Rican woman born and raised in Florida who found comfort in creativity through years of constant moving and starting over. About two to three years ago, everything clicked—I realized I had a deep passion for nails, beauty, and helping people feel confident in their own skin, which led me to pursue the Spa Nails Program at the American Academy of Health and Beauty. My goal is to build a welcoming nail salon and boutique of my own, creating the stability and uplifting space I always wished existed during my loneliest times.
