Summary
Passionate skincare and aesthetics professional with experience educating clients on medical-grade skincare regimens and helping individuals feel confident in their own skin through personalized, compassionate care. Struggling with acne personally has given me a deeper understanding of how skin conditions can impact both physical appearance and emotional well-being, further strengthening my passion for dermatology and patient-centered care. Currently pursuing practical nursing education while working at King’s Daughters Medical Center, where I have developed strong skills in patient care, vital sign monitoring, infection control, electronic documentation, and communication in fast-paced healthcare environments. My combined background in aesthetics and nursing allows me to provide a well-rounded approach to patient care focused on both confidence and overall wellness.
