What is your background as a clinician?
I have been a Registered Nurse for 8 years and a Nurse Practitioner for 2 years. My background is in pulmonary and critical care medicine. My journey began in critical care, where I honed my skills in patient care, attention to detail, and clinical expertise. I currently hold a full time position as a Pulmonary/Critical Care Nurse Practitioner at a level one trauma center. Over time, my passion for helping patients look and feel their best led me to transition into the field of aesthetic medicine. I pursued specialized training in injectables, dermal fillers, and various skincare treatments, and have since dedicated myself to staying at the forefront of aesthetic innovations through continuous education and professional development.
What is a fun fact about yourself?
A fun fact about me is that I am an avid traveler and have visited over 10 countries! I love exploring new cultures and sharing my experiences with my clients.
What made you want to start a career in Aesthetics?
My passion for aesthetics started with my own skincare journey. Battling skin issues in my early twenties made me realize the profound impact that clear, healthy skin can have on one's confidence and overall well-being. I wanted to help others achieve that same sense of empowerment and self-assurance. The blend of science, artistry, and patient interaction in aesthetics was the perfect fit for my professional goals and personal interests.

I am based in Chicago and currently service Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. My practice focuses on bringing top-tier aesthetic treatments to clients in multiple areas ensuring convenience and accessibility for all.
What is your favorite treatment? Treatment area?
My favorite treatment is the BioRePeel. It offers a fantastic combination of gentle exfoliation and deep hydration, perfect for achieving a healthy, radiant complexion. As for treatment areas, I particularly enjoy working on the upper face, as these areas can show significant, transformative results that boost a client’s confidence.
What are your favorite skincare products?
Some of my favorite skincare products include sunscreen, hyaluronic acid serum, vitamin C serum, and retinol.
• Sunscreen: A high-SPF, broad-spectrum sunscreen is a must to protect the skin from harmful UV rays.
• Hyaluronic Acid Serum: Keeps the skin hydrated and plump.
• Vitamin C Serum: Helps in brightening the skin and reducing the appearance of dark spots.
• Retinol: An essential for promoting cell turnover and maintaining youthful skin.
What is your number 1 skincare tip?
My number one skincare tip is to always wear sunscreen, regardless of the weather or season. UV damage is one of the leading causes of premature aging and protecting your skin from the sun is the best way to maintain its health and appearance.
What is the biggest misconception you think people have about injectable aesthetics?
The biggest misconception about injectable aesthetics is that it will make you look "frozen" or unnatural. In reality, when performed by a skilled and experienced professional, injectables can enhance your natural beauty and provide subtle, natural-looking results that refresh and rejuvenate your appearance.
What is one skincare item that you could not live without?
I could not live without my Vitamin C serum. It helps brighten my complexion, reduce dark spots, and protect my skin from environmental damage. It's an essential part of my daily skincare routine for maintaining a radiant, youthful look.
