Compassionate, highly skilled Registered Nurse with extensive experience in critical care, emergency nursing, rehabilitation, and Family Nurse Practitioner clinical training. Currently completing a Master of Science in Nursing – Family Nurse Practitioner program with an anticipated graduation in August 2026. My professional journey uniquely combines over a decade of leadership in luxury prestige cosmetics with advanced nursing practice, allowing me to deliver exceptional patient experiences while understanding both the science and artistry of aesthetics. My original inspiration for pursuing nursing was to become a Nurse Practitioner specializing in aesthetic medicine. I have remained passionate about skin health, wellness, and helping patients feel confident in their appearance while prioritizing safety, education, and evidence-based care. I am committed to lifelong learning and continually expanding my knowledge of aesthetic treatments, injectables, laser technologies, regenerative medicine, and medical-grade skincare.
