My favorite thing about being a nurse is offering services that boost self-confidence and positive body image. As a neonatal nurse, I talk to new mothers about the changes they experience, explaining what they’re going through and sharing advice on recovery and health. Whether I’m in the hospital or working with a Botox client, my goal is to make my patients and clients feel entirely at ease. You can relax, knowing that my knowledge and expertise will help you look and feel your best.

## Education and Qualifications
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Samuel Merritt and a Bachelor of Science from UCD in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. My academic training reflects a life-long interest in the science
of biological materials and human anatomy. I currently work full-time as a certified Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Nurse at Kaiser San Francisco. 

I have also worked in a plastic surgery center where I learned about medical-grade skin care, cosmetic injections, and aesthetics. I have extensive training offering Botox, fillers, chemical peels, microneedling, and other cosmetic treatments. I stay current with techniques, trends, and products that allow me to offer customized care to each of my clients. As part of the Persimmon team, I provide an array of elite services with unparalleled convenience and privacy for each client.

## Botox is for Everyone
My personal Botox philosophy is that the techniques are easy, fast, and safe, but choosing the right treatment option for you requires knowledge and communication. Botox is a fantastic way to soften facial wrinkles caused by laughing, smiling, and frowning. These lines and wrinkles can make you seem annoyed, angry, or tired – even if you’re feeling none of these things. Botox can give you an inviting resting expression. With my individualized approach, you can enhance your appearance and love what you see in the mirror.

Botox has a range of other uses, such as treating headaches, muscle spasms, and even excessive underarm sweating. It can also rejuvenate the neck and jawline, enhance chin definition, smooth lines on the forehead, and much more. 

## A Bit About Me
I was born in Walnut Creek and grew up in California. I currently live in the San Mateo area with my two great kids who are 6 and 4. Our neighborhood has many excellent parks, perfect for outdoor exercise as a family. We also have a fish tank with freshwater fish. I love to draw and paint, and the kids and I enjoy gardening in our yard.
