Growing up with parents who owned a med spa for 20 years, my passion for skincare began early. Surrounded by the beauty industry from a young age, I absorbed invaluable knowledge and developed a deep appreciation for both the artistry and science of aesthetics. After earning my license in 2013, I had the privilege of working alongside my family where I was able to refine my skills. After their retirement in 2018, I embraced the opportunity to forge my own path, leading to the creation of Vital Skin Spa.
I offer a wide range of services, from relaxing facials to advanced laser treatments, along with high-quality skincare products all tailored to address diverse skin concerns. My goal is to build a trusting and lasting relationship with you, working together to achieve your skincare goals, whether big or small. With a strong foundation in ethics and a genuine passion for helping others, I am committed to delivering exceptional care in a safe, professional, and welcoming environment. Backed by over a decade of extensive training and ongoing education, I always remain at the forefront of the ever-evolving aesthetics industry.
My mission as your aesthetician is simple: to empower you to look and feel your best, both inside and out. As someone who personally struggled with acne, scarring, and other skin issues, I know how emotionally challenging it can be. I believe that confidence in your skin is essential to overall well-being, and I look forward to the opportunity to helping you achieve that confidence!
On a personal note, I am married to a wonderfully supportive husband and am a proud mom to a teenage daughter. Our family also includes a dog and a cat who bring a lot of joy to our lives. In my free time, I love to watch movies, read, attend concerts, cook, explore new restaurants and cuisines, and travel as much as I can. Additionally, I have a passion for interior design and am often working on home projects.
That's a little bit about me... I look forward to learning more about you!
