I started my career in Aesthetics before I could drink.  As an 18-year-old working for Estee Lauder and joined the Ranks of Nordstrom in 1998 and promoting through the ranks As Makeup artist, Counter Manager, and Account Coordinator.

 

I have worked as a freelance Makeup artist in Las Vegas NV and did on Site work for production as well as working for MAC Pro in one of the highest volumes, demanding places for make-up artists in the business.

 

Weddings were also a regular job for onsite makeup applications as well. Loving skin as well it was appropriate that I also had an active Aesthetics license in the state of California in 2011. I was wanting to do more with skin and health. 

 

In 2015 became an RN with Bachelors from Samuel Merritt University and became an ICU nurse. Already being a Medical Aesthetician for Dr. Powell in with an A+ Image in Davis I moved my skills to Perceptions in Orangevale for Aesthetics and eventually an RN injector role. With my mentor being one of the very first RNs to do Botox injections my training was ongoing as well as hands-on.  With again a thirst for knowledge, I got my MSN in Education & Leadership as well as dual certification as Acute Care Nurse Practitioner. 

 

My basis of natural beauty came from looking and “ making faces” for over 15 years before I left the industry as well as modeling as a young child taught me a lot about what is believable beauty and what is contrived. I am not big into the trendy or unnatural-looking filler. Even as a makeup artist I always gravitated toward timeless makeup looks, not trends. 

 

I believe everybody has their own unique look to work with and can be enhanced, things softened or highlighted with the right product, procedure, or prevention. I believe great skincare is the basis of ALL beauty and it also radiates health.

 

I geek out on skincare products and NO one ever leaves my chair without SPF and a smile.  I look forward to sharing my love of skin and all things beauty with my patients, and clients.
