Kim Novak, Admission Director, Financial Officer: Kim is originally from Chicago and in the beauty industry for 26 years. Her dedication in quality education through individual attention to students is her trademark.
In 1985, as a new instructor, Kim worked beside Audrey Swanson, her mother and owner, of Crown College of Cosmetology, Inc. Her skills as an educator were fine-tuned to make her teaching positive, informative and educational.
In 1996 Kim became the owner of Crown College of Cosmetology, Inc. Since that time she has remodeled the school, developed a new creative curriculum and employed staff members who share her vision that success fosters pride, pride fosters excitement, and excitement fosters learning.

Kim's philosophy for learning is:
1. Small classes allow instructors to give individual attention to students.
2. Personal attention cultivates creative thinking.
3. Individual attention give students a solid foundation to become successful in
the industry.
4. A one on one teaching system instills the desire for lifelong learning.

Kim believes that you can never learn enough in this changing career. That is why she attends many continued education classes to keep the school up to date with the current trends. One of her most recent classes, she attended a workshop at the Vidal Sassoon Academy in Miami.

In the corporate salon Roberta developed the skills needed to be an effective educator. Watching new stylists that required advanced skills encouraged her to become a teacher.

She focused on her goals to become an instructor within the first year of holding her license. Working in a salon as a stylist, Diane began taking instructor training and acquired her teacher's license in 1983, and Crown College was the choice to begin her teaching career.
In the 20 years Diane has been with the College and has educated students from the Intro Program to the Advance Program. Her calm disposition and uniqueness in teaching encourage students to become successful in creativity.
