I have been a registered nurse for over 32 years and have worked in the Bay Area as a pediatric, medical surgical, and emergency care nurse. I received a Masters Degree in nursing education.  I also currently teach at a Nursing School for both RNs and LVNs. It is my privilege and joy to take care of patients during the post-operative period and in the education of self-care and recovery. 

I received my Bachelors of Science in Nursing from St. Mary’s College/Samuel Merritt College in 1993. Following nursing school I started my career as a medical surgical nurse for 5 years then moved to Ambulatory Care Setting. Just after getting a Aesthetician license in 2000 I joined Dr Moulton-Barrett at Brentwood Laser & Aesthetics where I have received extensive training and education in medical and aesthetic treatments. In 2004 I traveled to the World Plastic Surgery Congress in Monaco as a clinical laser specialist to demonstrate and present the cutting edge of innovative technology using the Sciton Erbium and NdYag laser.

I have particular interest in anti-aging medicine and procedures. In 2004 I worked with Allergan as a nurse injector to teach physicians and staff techniques for the injection of BoTox. I have striven to obtain higher education and continue to research new techniques to add to specialized and artistic treatments. My detailed experience includes the use of dermal fillers, volumizers such as Radiesse and Sculptra and also permanent fillers ie Artifill. I strive to keep current with effective skin products and chemical peels to remove damaged skin, to treat problematic skin like rosacea, acne, hyper-pigmentation and sensitive skin types.

I remain passionate towards teaching the public regarding the importance of skin care and skin cancer prevention. Patient care, I regard as a privilege. It is my goal to assist my clients in reaching their desired natural beauty.

Greetings, I am honored to be able to care for our patients before, during and after their procedures in either one of our offices. Saludos, si hablo español. My passion is to help people feel better about themselves and empower them through education. I aspire to be the best nurse possible to my patients through compassion, kindness, understanding, caring and of course a smile. Nothing is more fulfilling than hearing directly from a patient how happy they are about the results of their procedure. I have always had a fascination for medicine as I have a long line of medical professionals in my family. But it wasn’t until I volunteered at a clinic when was 14 years old when I really fell in love with medicine. I was born and raised in the Bay Area. I graduated from Gurnick Academy of Medical Arts in Concord, California and received my license as an LVN. When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, travelling, crafting, cooking and reading.
