I am a nurse injector at Shewmake Plastic Surgery & Skin Retreat. My journey to becoming a nurse began by being a caregiver to both of my parents during their cancer treatments. After graduation, I combined my experience as a cosmetologist with nursing and pursued a career in aesthetics. Helping patients feel more confident about their appearance is very rewarding. Teaching is another one of my passions. As an Allergan trainer, I enjoy sharing my knowledge of neuromodulators and fillers with
new injectors.
