When I was young, my best friend was diagnosed with brain cancer. I saw her fight for her life, enduring every procedure and treatment possible. Then when I was in high school, my grandma was diagnosed with end-stage colon cancer. I stood by her side as she fought for her life, in and out of the hospital. Through these experiences, I got a taste of what nursing was all about, and I wanted to help others on some of the most challenging days of their lives. 

I’m also passionate about helping people look and feel their most confident. We all want to keep that youthful look, and it’s my goal to help my clients be their best selves. Aesthetic treatments allow you to walk into any room glowing and confident. Safety is also always a priority of mine. I take pride in continuously educating myself, so my clients have the best possible treatment.

## Education and Qualifications
I am a Registered Nurse with 7 years of experience. I have a broad range of nursing skills, and I’ve worked in emergency, critical care, and surgical care. I graduated from Chico State in 2012 with a Kinesiology degree, gaining extensive education on how the body moves and functions. I completed a Registered Nurse program at Sacramento City College in 2015, but I’ve never stopped learning. I continue pushing myself to expand my knowledge base in medicine, which has made me extremely well-rounded and skilled in my field.

I currently work in an Intensive Burn Unit, and we’re one of only three burn centers in Northern California. Working with burns has made me an expert when it comes to skin, so I can help you make the right treatment decisions. 

## My Experience with Botox and Aesthetics 
I have been getting Botox for the last 4 years. I started Botox when I noticed fine lines that my normal skincare routine wasn’t preventing. Botox has saved my face from forming deep lines and has almost erased any fine lines that were previously there. I get many compliments on my complexion and I know it’s because of my commitment to Botox and diligent skin care. I only have one face, so I take good care of it! 

After my first Botox appointment, I was immediately intrigued with aesthetic nursing, and how one quick appointment can make you feel so much younger. My face was renewed, and I had new confidence. Since then, I have done extensive research on Botox treatments and best practices. With any venture I take on, I do my best to perfect my work. I have extensive experience in Botox and other aesthetic treatments, and I know I’ll help you reach your skin goals.

## A Bit About Me
I grew up in Danville, and I currently live in San Ramon, CA. I love the East Bay! My friends and family are all here, and when I walk down the street, I regularly see someone that I know. I love that small-town vibe! In my free time, you will find me working out. Exercise is one of the things that keeps me physically, mentally, and emotionally fit. This last year I joined a CrossFit gym, and I also enjoy cycling, hiking, and Pilates.
