Cora Stinebrink is a licensed esthetician, beauty educator, and entrepreneur with more than 14 years of experience in the beauty industry. A graduate of the Aveda Institute of Beauty & Wellness in Milwaukee (2012), Cora began her career working in professional spas as a facialist and wax specialist before opening CORA Beauty & Spa in Downtown Milwaukee in 2015.
 

Driven by a vision to create an elevated beauty experience, Cora later relocated to Wisconsin's Lake Country, where she expanded her business into a thriving full-service spa and the award-winning CORA Glam Team. Today, she leads a talented team while continuing to serve clients, mentor beauty professionals, and grow one of the area's premier beauty businesses.
 

Throughout her career, Cora has sought inspiration far beyond Wisconsin. She has traveled to New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and countless industry events, trade shows, conventions, and educational conferences learning from some of the most respected artists, educators, and brands in the industry. The Midwest Esthetics & Beauty Summit was created to bring the very best of those experiences home while introducing fresh, innovative ideas designed specifically for beauty professionals in the Midwest.
 

In 2026, Cora taught on the demo stage at the Makeup Show NYC and was honored as the Skin Games International Brow Waxer of the Year, a recognition that reflects her dedication to excellence and continued growth within the industry.
 

Her mission with MEBS is big: to create an unforgettable weekend where diverse beauty professionals leave feeling inspired, educated, connected, and excited about what's next. Through world-class education, meaningful networking, friendly competitions, and a beautiful lakeside setting, Cora hopes every attendee discovers new confidence, new friendships, and the motivation to take the next step in their career.
