I’ve been a nurse since 2007 when I completed my nursing degree at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland. I’ve worked with all kinds of patients and my wide range of experience has made me a confident and competent nurse. 
Hard work got me where I am today, but I also know that I need to have a healthy and balanced life. I make choices that support the wellbeing of my mind and body, and I help my patients and my clients do the same.

## Education and Qualifications
My first nursing position was at Enloe Hospital in Chico on the Surgical Unit. But being a Marin County native with a strong desire to return, I soon transferred to Marin General Hospital. I worked on the Surgical Unit for 7 years, in the ICU for 4 years, and I’m currently working on the Post Anesthesia Care Unit. 
Nursing is the perfect blend of science, art, and the human experience. There is no nursing without theory, data, and artful skill, but there is also no nursing without compassion and connection. I strive to excel in all these areas, both at the hospital and during at-home Botox appointments. I’m a skillful injector, and I also take the time to connect with my clients and truly understand their skincare goals to offer the best Botox results.

## Take Years Off Your Face with Botox
Botox is a fantastic treatment option that’s non-invasive and has a low risk of side effects. It’s an easy and safe way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and now it’s available in your own home! Taking years off your face, smoothing away fine lines, and even preventing future wrinkles are all possible with Botox. That’s why it was the most popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure in 2021. 

## A Bit About Me
I grew up in southern Marin and now I live in Novato with my two children. My daughter is 13 and is still as sweet as can be. I’m bracing myself for that to change, but fingers crossed the teenage years will be good to me. My son is a very active and kind 10-year-old. We love Novato and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else. 
You can find me on Mt. Burdell almost daily, where I love to walk with my little white rescue dog. It’s my happiest place. My kids love nature too, probably because I’ve dragged them outside to go camping, backpacking, and walking since the day they were born. My other passions include DIY house projects, sewing, painting, crafting, and music. I’m also fascinated by rain and rainfall. My kids know better than to mess with my random rain measuring cups around the yard!
