Before becoming a nurse I worked in corporate finance, juggling a 60-hour work week with parenting. I wanted to spend more time with my daughter, so I went back to school when she started elementary school. I was afraid of switching careers so late, but it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It was scary, but I realized that the only person in control of my future was me! 

I think no matter what, owning who we are and what we do is key to personal success. Now I get to help people, continue to challenge myself to learn and grow, and spend lots of time with my family.

## Education and Qualifications
I have a bachelor’s in business from San Diego State (2004), and a bachelor’s in nursing from Samuel Merritt University (2019). In the last 3 years, I’ve worked as a postpartum nurse and in outpatient care. I also spent 6 months doing nutritional IV therapy and aesthetics. Now I work as a plastic surgery RN in Danville, blending my two nursing passions. 

I’ve been administering Botox and other injectables for a year and can’t wait to share my knowledge and experience with you! I’m prepared to address any questions and provide safe and effective treatment. 

## Botox Delays the Signs of Aging 
I have been getting Botox for over 10 years, so I understand your needs and concerns. I love Botox for one great reason: prevention. I think prevention is key when it comes to anti-aging. I love things like proper skincare, hydration, sleep, facials, and skin treatments such as Botox. Starting these treatments earlier gives us the opportunity to keep lines and wrinkles at bay for longer, and may be able to delay or prevent the need for more invasive treatments later.

## A Bit About Me
I grew up in the LA area and moved to the Bay Area over 10 years ago. I love living in the East Bay because we have easy access to the city, wine country, Tahoe, hiking, and more. We also have a wonderful community of family and friends nearby. My daughter is now 10 years old, and together we care for our crazy Labradoodle puppy named Winnie.
 
I love being outdoors, whether hiking, exploring, getting on the water, or just enjoying the beauty of the great outdoors. I also love to work out, eat healthy, and enjoy spending time with my family. I’m also a total math nerd, and I live for budgets, coupons, and sales!
