I’ve been a licensed esthetician for over 13 years. My journey began when I found myself needing a new path in life. I took a leap of faith and tried esthetics. I began my career at a small spa, and I worked my way up to Spa Manager. After 3 years I became an educator. My passion soared as I enjoyed helping others to grow and love themselves.

What brought you to Face Reality? I was excited to utilize my business skills, my educating skills, my love to help guide others, and to work together with a dynamic clinic team to change the lives of those suffering from acne.

In the process of deciding what I wanted to do as a long-term career, I was inspired to become an esthetician while working at a spa. As I was trying to fix my own acne, I really enjoyed the process of finding out which products worked for me and why. I found that this passion quickly expanded to me wanting to help as many other people as possible—the rest is history! After working in a spa environment for a little while, I was itching for something more results and clinically focused which brought me to Face Reality Acne Clinic.

What is your favorite acne to treat and why? My favorite acne type to work on would have to be noninflamed acne. Not only because they are the best extractions, but it also takes a lot of patience and education to treat this acne type specifically.

After years of struggling with cystic acne, purchasing over the counter products and numerous appointments with dermatologists, I became interested in skincare. I was finally introduced to an esthetician in San Francisco who taught me not only how to take care of my skin, but also how to identify my acne triggers. At the time, I was working in the legal field, but was tired of pushing paper, and with my own skincare concerns, decided to become an esthetician.

What is your favorite part of being a Face Reality Acne Expert? Being a part of the life changing effects and restored confidence of clients has been a rewarding experience. As an esthetician at the Face Reality Acne Clinic, I have not only expanded my passion toward skincare but have also increased my knowledge on the importance of how our daily lifestyles can affect the health of our skin.

At a young age, I was fascinated with makeup and how it enhances the appearance. It was this long-term interest that drew me to esthetics school and to my passion for skin! As someone who has suffered from acne since I was 11 years old, I was inspired by the way skin treatments could not only transform the skin but also boost a client’s self-esteem! Here at Face Reality Acne Clinic, I am able to do what I love while supporting our clients on the road to clear skin. It is so rewarding to be a part of this positive step forward in my client’s lives.

What is your favorite part about being a Face Reality Acne Expert? My favorite part about being an Acne Expert is trying to solve the acne puzzle. Everyone’s skin is different, and no two formulas are alike. I enjoy the challenge of solving the mystery, whether it be food triggers or a little change in a home care routine. Everyday brings something different, it’s just about finding the things that work for each client’s skin!

I became an esthetician because I was obsessed with eyebrows. My goal was to make the world a better place one set of eyebrows at a time. Since going to school and obtaining my Esthetics License, I have come to learn that skin health and skincare are just as important. Skin is a solid foundation to building one’s confidence and self-esteem. Now, my new goal at Face Reality Acne Clinic is to help our clients reach their goals of clear healthy skin one treatment at a time, while complementing them on how great their eyebrows look.

What is your favorite product and why? My favorite product would have to be the L-Mandelic Serum. I love how it gives you just the right amount of exfoliation to help improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation and texture. It truly is liquid gold in a bottle!
