After 19 years of customer service experience, creating beautiful smiles, I am happy to be a part of Allume Med Spa. My interest in the esthetic field stems from a desire to understand how the incredible technologies and advancements in products available today can contribute to graceful aging. I am excited to assist others in achieving their vision of self-beauty.

My lifelong passion has always been helping those around me to feel and be their best and brightening someone’s day with a simple smile or kind words.

Upon entering Allume, I want you to experience a spa-like atmosphere where you can share your beauty goals. Relax and let our fantastic team of professionals assist you in achieving those goals. I am happy about helping you feel fabulous and creating long-lasting relationships.

In my leisure time, I enjoy time with my husband, daughter, and son, creating lasting memories!

I have always been passionate about the beauty industry. My love for all things beauty started as an obsession with nails, hair, and makeup. As I approached my teenage years and was beginning to experience acne, I also became obsessed with skincare. I became an esthetician because I love the artistic aspects of it and because I can help clients feel better about themselves and their appearance. Just seeing our clients' expressions after receiving a treatment is truly amazing!

My passion is to help those around me, that is why I enjoy working at Allume Med Spa. Our team truly comes together to help our clients feel and look their best.

During the weekends I enjoy sleeping and playing with my dog in beautiful Sonoma County.

I love the field of aesthetics. After receiving my ADN at Santa Rosa Junior College, I started getting some aesthetic treatments. I immediately felt that this is the field where I belonged. I began working as an aesthetic nurse and decided that this was it.

I worked at LaserAway for 5 years and have continued to train on more advanced techniques and treatments. I perform micro needling and many other advanced laser procedures. My favorite procedure is injections, which is where the artistic part comes in. Because every face is different, you must be creative and artistic to enhance each person’s beauty their way.

I love my job, making people feel good about themselves is the best part!

Weekends are spent watching my son play sports.

I earned my Associate Degree of Science in Nursing at Pacific Union College in Angwin, CA, and my Bachelor of Science in Nursing through Capella University.

Beginning my career in the mental health department as a registered nurse, I gained an understanding of the significance of holistic self-care, physically and mentally.

Growing up, I always struggled with eczema on my face & body, which led to a negative self-image. I chose to go into the aesthetics field so that I would be able to help others feel more confident in themselves and live a happier life because I knew how it felt to not feel comfortable in my own skin. 

I currently specialize in the medical aesthetics field, where I enjoy working with advanced laser treatments for conditions ranging from skin resurfacing and hair and tattoo removal to melasma, hyperpigmentation, acne conditions, and more. I also specialize in injections such as Botox and the enjoy art of natural looking dermal fillers.

On my free time, I love spending time with family and friends. I also love traveling! So, if I’m not at work, you can catch me on a plane! 

I have always been drawn to the idea that beauty must start within us in order to project it to the outside. There is also no one ideal beauty standard. I believe everyone is gorgeous in their own way. 

My passion is to help people become confident and happy with their beauty, whatever it may be. Seeing and feeling the joy of satisfied customers is extremely rewarding. 

I am currently enrolled at Santa Rosa Junior College, finishing my prerequisites for nursing school. My goal is to transfer to Samuel Merritt University for my Bachelors Degree in Nursing.

On weekends, I love to unwind by going to the beach, reading a good book, or heading into the city to enjoy some great food.
