As the oldest child, taking care of people always came naturally to me. Then, at the end of my grandfather’s life, my family experienced compassionate care from the home hospice nurses. They made a really hard time a bit more bearable, and this planted the seed that led to my nursing career.

I see my patients and clients as my own family and treat them as such. I try to provide as much comfort and care as I can. Even when my patients in the hospital don’t have visitors, I want them to feel loved and supported.   

## Education and Qualifications
I completed my nursing degree at Drexel University, Philadelphia, and worked as a travel nurse for a few years before settling in the Bay Area. I currently work at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Medical Center, on a cardiac surgery unit. I care for patients both pre- and post-surgery.

I’ve been getting Botox treatments for about 2 years, so I have picked up on some techniques that I like. I have gone to a larger spa setting where I’ve been injected by a different nurse each time, and this has shown me the value of working with the same healthcare provider to get a personalized injection experience and see the best results.

## Natural Enhancements with Botox
I think anyone considering Botox should try it! If something has the potential to make you feel better about yourself, it’s worth a shot. And one of the best things about Botox is that it’s not permanent. Results last between 3 to 6 months, and changes fade over time. If you love the results, you can book another appointment, or tweak your dosage to see different results.

## Botox for Forehead Lines
I have a line on my forehead that matches my dad’s, and it bothered me in photos for years. I get a few units of Botox several times per year to ease this forehead line and to prevent an even deeper wrinkle. For over a year my boyfriend had no idea I was getting Botox. When I finally told him I get Botox he was shocked! Smoothing this forehead line makes me feel brighter and more confident, while still being subtle enough for no one to know.

## A Bit About Me
I’m from New Jersey, and my family still lives on the east coast. While I miss my people back home, I absolutely love San Francisco. It feels down to earth, while still being a large city with diverse culture and something to offer everyone. I live in Inner Richmond, and I love the simple things like having a corner store and a coffee shop within a couple of blocks.

I live with my boyfriend, Jamie. He is a personal trainer, and we’re both into fitness. I spent most of last year training for my first marathon, and we ran the San Francisco marathon in September!
