Despite the initial challenges, Daya was determined to bring out the best in herself. At just 11 years old, Daya worked as a hairstylist in her mother’s beauty salon, from whom she learned the basics of this beautiful profession. Regardless of the obstacles, Daya Burton continued her dedication and development, leading her to receive her industry’s first certificate of recognition from the beauty product company Motions.

That’s when Daya Burton decided to truly spread her wings and fly without limits. She graduated as a catwalk model from the John Casa Blanca School, which led her to now be USOA Ms. New Jersey 2023. 

She graduated from the private Lincoln Marti School and attended Miami college for her associate’s degree in business administration “math is the easiest subject there is,” she says, being a mathematics lover. Daya began her career in the financial industry during her freshman year in high school but never turned away from her most prized talent in the world of beauty and hairstyling. Thanks to her dedication to everything she sets out to do, Daya has received multiple awards in both industries. She became one of the most important financial experts at JP Morgan in the early 2000s.
