Summary

I've been striving to find myself in a career supporting my skills and learning even more along the way. I found a passion in the growing world of beauty and decided i wanted to grow with it. I attended esthetician school and found myself wanting to do even more with my skills, after about a year having my license i found myself very interested in the medical side of it, after researching i decided to go to the National Laser Institute and i fell in love with the ability of being able to help people feel amazing and beautiful. I love the amount of ways you can grow and strive in this industry and i'd love to grow with you.
