I have been a Registered Nurse since 1998. My career began in critical care and transitioned to injectables in 2011 after realizing my love for the art and science of medical aesthetics. With more than 12 years of injecting experience, I specialize in full facial balancing and corrective aesthetics. In addition to treating patients, I am honored to be a GAIN trainer to other injectors for Galderma. I’ve had the privilege of training with some of the most respected injectors in the industry. As learning never ends in medical aesthetics, I am dedicated to staying up to date on all the changes in this ever-evolving industry to further hone my skills as an aesthetic injector.
I am known for my welcoming demeanor and the personal connection I create with each patient. I consult in depth with patients to get a thorough understanding of their goals and concerns before creating a fully customized treatment plan. My primary goal with each injectable patient is to deliver natural looking results that leave them feeling confident and refreshed. I believe it’s important to educate patients about their treatment options to empower them to feel confident about the decision to have aesthetic procedures.
