ABOUT ME:
Hi! I'm Mrs. Cahill and I'm proud to be the Cosmetology Teacher here at BCIT Medford! With over 15 years of experience in the cosmetology industry and education, I bring real-world knowledge and a deep passion for teaching into the classroom every day.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked behind the chair as a professional stylist, specializing in bridal hair and formal styling, as well as advanced color and cutting techniques. I’m licensed in multiple states as both a cosmetologist and a cosmetology educator, and I hold additional certifications in advanced hair color, creative cutting, barbering and shaving, and multiple professional extension methods.
My journey in beauty began at the Jean Madeline Aveda Institute in Pennsylvania and continued with advanced training at the Vidal Sassoon Academy in Los Angeles, California. These experiences helped shape not only my technical expertise but also my commitment to high standards and creativity in everything I do.
As an educator, my mission is to prepare students not just for their state boards, but for long-term success in the beauty industry. I know the impact this career can have—and I’m here to help students build confidence, master their skills, and find their unique path in this exciting field.
I’m excited to work closely with both students and parents throughout the school year, and I look forward to supporting every learner on their journey into the world of cosmetology.
