An Abington High School and Eastern Center for Arts and Technology graduate landed a job doing what she loves in Glenside.

Goudy received her Pennsylvania cosmetology license in September and is now working on building her clientele — she’s also attending Montgomery County Community College.

Goudy’s cousin took Eastern’s cosmetology program when BillieJo was in seventh grade and used her as a model for one of her projects. She said it was at that point that her love of the cosmetology field blossomed. Her main interest is in hair care and coloring and styling.
