About
As an aesthetic injector, my true passion lies in making patients feel good about themselves, fostering their sense of self-confidence and pride in both their inward and outward appearance. I take joy in discussing their unique goals and working together to achieve them. One of my favorite combinations for maintenance is Botox + Microneedling with a peel, complemented by an excellent skincare regimen, which personally helped me after having a baby and experiencing feelings of dullness and fatigue.
Embracing challenges, I continually expand my knowledge in various aspects of medicine, educating myself and my patients about skin health and overall wellness. I find fulfillment in making my patients' lives a little easier, whether it's through reducing the need to shave or helping them wear less makeup, all to embrace their natural beauty.
Beyond my work, I enjoy taking my son to the park, helping him learn how to ride a bike, golf, & draw. Beach days are a favorite of mine, where I spend time with my family and dog. You'll also find me skiing or going out for dinner with my boyfriend, Steve. When I'm not doing those things I also enjoy getting cocktails with my girlfriends!
