From Emergency Room to Aesthetics

I began my nursing career in emergency medicine in 2020, with three years at a Level I trauma, stroke, and STEMI center, and I still work emergency shifts today as a relief charge nurse. In 2023 I expanded into aesthetics and have spent three years in independent aesthetic practice in O’Fallon, Missouri.

I’m now completing my Doctor of Nursing Practice as a Family Nurse Practitioner, graduating April 2027. Looking ahead, my interests are regenerative aesthetics, metabolic health, and obesity medicine.
