About Me

A passionate Esthetician

In Conversation

I am a medical esthetician passionate about helping clients feel confident in their skin through results-driven yet realistic skincare treatments. My specialty focuses on hyperpigmentation, texture concerns, acne, and overall skin health, especially for melanated skin. I believe in a ‘less is more’ approach, creating simple, effective routines that clients can actually maintain rather than overwhelming multi-step regimens.
What sets me apart is my blend of professionalism, education, and personalized care. I make clients feel comfortable, heard, and cared for while educating them about long-term skin health. My goal is to create a safe, uplifting space where beauty, confidence, and self-care meet.
Beyond esthetics, my personal journey has taught me resilience, growth, and the importance of confidence from within. I am growing in the medical aesthetics field and also pursuing nursing. My long-term goal is to combine advanced aesthetic treatments with patient-centered care.
I started in the beauty industry as a solo lash artist back in 2018. At the time, I was just looking for something that would let me be creative while helping other women feel good about themselves, but it quickly became something I genuinely loved. I built my clientele from the ground up through consistency, word of mouth, and creating an experience where clients felt comfortable, confident, and genuinely cared for. Being a solo artist taught me discipline, customer service, marketing, and the importance of building real relationships with people.
As I continued growing in the industry, I realized I wanted to go deeper than beauty alone. I became more passionate about skin health, education, and helping people feel confident without having to hide behind makeup or filters. That passion led me into medical aesthetics, where I’ve expanded my knowledge and worked with treatments focused on real skin concerns and long-term results.
My journey definitely hasn’t been perfect or easy, but every stage has pushed me to grow personally and professionally. I’m still evolving, still learning, and continuing to build a career that blends beauty, confidence, and genuine care for people.
I’m most proud of the growth I’ve had throughout my journey in the beauty industry. Starting as a solo lash artist taught me how to build something for myself from the ground up, stay consistent, and create real relationships with clients who trusted me and continued to support my business through word of mouth alone.
Transitioning into medical aesthetics was a huge milestone for me because it pushed me outside of my comfort zone and allowed me to grow in a completely different way. Being able to work in a results-driven environment while continuing my education and pursuing a nursing career has been a major accomplishment for me, both personally and professionally.
I think one of the biggest things that sets me apart is my genuine care for people. I want clients to feel comfortable, educated, and confident when they leave my treatment room . Building trust, helping people feel better about themselves, and continuing to evolve in my career are the things I’m most proud of.
Outside of work, I love reading, trying new things, and constantly finding ways to grow and evolve. I’m definitely the type of person who will randomly decide to pick up a new activity or hobby just for the experience. I enjoy stepping outside of my comfort zone and keeping life interesting.
Right now, a big part of my life is balancing nursing school while continuing to grow in the beauty and medical aesthetics industry. It’s not always easy, but I’m really passionate about building a future that combines both beauty and healthcare. I also love music, dancing, and being in spaces that feel uplifting, creative, and inspiring.

Principles to Live By

What are some of your favorite ways to relax? List at least three and why.

One of my favorite ways to relax is going to church because it helps me feel grounded, peaceful, and mentally and spiritually reconnected. I also love getting routine massages because they help me slow down, decompress, and reset after busy weeks.

Another thing I enjoy is having a good ‘me day,’ whether that’s skincare, reading, listening to music, trying a new coffee shop, or enjoying a really good meal. I’ve learned how important it is to create moments for myself that feel calming, uplifting, and restorative.
