Fun Fact: I was in the Hospitality Management field, and lived in Las Vegas for the majority of my adult life!“
The women in my family never wear an ounce of makeup (besides lipstick), or paid much attention to skincare. I on the other hand, love doing makeup and have a great love for self care via skincare and spa treatments. I entered into aesthetics management and have learned so much about maintaining your youth through a topical regimen. It’s fascinating all the clinical studies and science that goes into making of these products. Keeping up with your skin health in addition to non-surgical treatments is crucial. Right now my nighttime routine is about 10 steps!”

“Growing up, I was always more of a girly girl and had a love for everything beauty and fashion but was also a nerd who was obsessed with science. Pretty early into my nursing degree, I decided I wanted to work in the aesthetic world. What I really love is caring deeply for people. For me, being a nurse in aesthetics isn’t just Botox Injections, fillers, and lasers…. it’s so much more than making little adjustments to someone’s face or body. My career allows me to build people up with confidence, transform their lives, and care about them every step of the way. My mission is to help people feel amazing in their own skin.”

I thought, what better way to combine my love for nursing AND beauty. Something I find cool about the industry is the science behind how everything works.

“I grew up in the industry (thanks to my mom that we all know and love) and was not interested until I had my lips done. Following that, I started studying the science behind aesthetic medicine in college and became obsessed.
Ultrasound proficiency for dermal fillers (and tox!) is the coolest advancement in aesthetic medicine today. With ultrasound, we now have what I like to call “x ray vision” into the layers of the face to have the deepest and most intimate level of knowledge to our patients’ individualized anatomy (because everybody’s very different). Belle Vie is the only clinic I know to have provided both group and individual provider facial ultrasound training.
