I began my career in architectural design at Drexel University before following my calling into medicine—a path that allowed me to blend creativity with patient care. I started working in critical care in 1994, spending many years in pediatrics, including neonatal and pediatric cardiothoracic ICU at Nemours Children’s Hospital. These experiences shaped my meticulous, safety-first approach to aesthetics.

After earning my Master’s degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2012, I transitioned into medical aesthetics, where my background in art made facial balance and natural enhancement intuitive. Working alongside plastic surgeons helped refine my technique and led to national opportunities as an aesthetic trainer and educator. I later earned my doctorate specializing in non-invasive aesthetic medicine and patient education.

I’ve been a national speaker and educator since 2013, was published in the Journal of Aesthetic and Plastic Nursing, and continue to practice while conducting post-doctorate research focused on aesthetic best practices. I’m passionate about thoughtful innovation, lifelong learning, and delivering natural-looking results that help patients feel confident in their skin.
