I’ve been an aesthetic nurse for nearly nine years, with extensive experience in advanced treatments and patient care. As a former lead clinician, I onboarded and trained close to 100 nurses in procedures such as laser hair removal, tattoo removal, laser facials, CoolSculpting and injectables like Botox and lip fillers. My favorite treatments include Botox, microneedling, and skin resurfacing lasers like Cool Peel. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, traveling, hiking, and discovering new restaurants.
