NURSE PRACTITIONER

Certified Family Health Nurse Practitioner

My long-term goals are inspired by plastic surgery procedures and having others look and feel their best. Becoming involved in aesthetics has always been my dream and ultimate career goal. I have an artistic side to me and am able to see the potential that aesthetic procedures have to transform a patient not only on the outside, but on the inside. Instilling confidence and helping others to feel their best is incredibly rewarding. I would be a qualified candidate to sell these products as I believe in their ability to change lives.
