My Journey.

I have always had an interest in health and medicine and started my journey by becoming a Registered Nurse in July of 2008, then continuing for my Master’s in Nursing in April of 2014 with a license to practice as an Adult Nurse Practitioner.

I started my career working as a Health aide at Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center on a bone marrow/transplant floor, then worked in the ICU as an aide. Once I completed my RN, I spent 8 more years in the ICU. After a total of 11 ½ years working at Roswell, I worked and trained in the Neuro ICU at South Buffalo Mercy Hospital and then spent 7 years working in Internal Medicine at Neighborhood Health Center serving the lower West Side of Buffalo, NY.

Most people don’t know that I suffered with severe Atopic Dermatitis/Eczema through my childhood and into adulthood. So, I can understand feeling self-conscious and uncomfortable in my own skin and always wanted to help others to the best of my ability. Since dealing with my own skin disorder, I started to have a passion for Dermatology and soon Facial Aesthetics. As far as I can remember, I always loved a good before and after and became captivated.

After attending numerous hands-on trainings, conferences, and continued education, Chief Aesthetics was founded in September 2018. I love the opportunity that I'm able to seamlessly integrate medicine, critical thinking and patient education with facial and body rejuvenation. I strive to stay current with advanced techniques and continue to improve my skills as an injector. It's imperative I provide the highest quality care using the safest approach for the most natural results. I am so blessed I get to practice my passion each and everyday.
