LEADERSHIP 01

Steve Sullivan.

Chief Administrative Officer • Full Time

Steve Sullivan has been a leader in the career school industry since 1986, serving in key roles including Financial Aid Director, School Director, Admissions Representative, and Corporate Training Officer.

Gabrielle Caslin-Wimbush serves as School Director for both Pro Way Hair School locations. She earned her Master of Cosmetology from Southern Crescent Technical College (formerly Griffin Technical College) in Griffin, Georgia, and holds a Master Educator Instructor License from Michaels School of Beauty in Macon, Georgia.

Her career in beauty began as a stylist and salon owner — where she discovered a deep passion for teaching. That calling led her to transition into education: first as an instructor, then as a Campus Director, before ultimately advancing into school operations.

With over 25 years of combined experience in both the private and public sectors of the beauty and barbering industry, Mrs. Caslin brings exceptional leadership to her role. She takes pride in fostering strong relationships with students and staff, enhancing performance, and cultivating a positive, inspiring school culture.
