Summary
Registered Nurse with critical care experience in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and Cardiac Catheterization/Electrophysiology Lab, seeking an entry-level Nurse Injector role in medical aesthetics and wellness. I bring a warm, highly compassionate, and personal approach to patient care shaped by years of supporting patients and families during vulnerable, high-stress moments. My background in precision-based care, advanced IV placement, and working with challenging vasculature has prepared me to transition seamlessly into aesthetic medicine. I have a deep passion for wellness and holistic health and am eager to begin immersing myself in the wellness space as I work toward becoming a Family Nurse Practitioner. I am eager to work in aesthetics, where trust, education, safety, and individualized, whole-person care are at the center of every patient experience.
