I started my career in 2012 at Virginia Mason Medical Center in Seattle, working with 20 different dermatologists as both a surgical tech and a medical assistant. During my time at Virginia Mason, I fell in love with dermatology - everything about it was so fascinating to me, and I just wanted to learn more and more. I continued my education, going to conferences, not just aesthetics conferences, but medical conferences in dermatology as well. I left Virginia Mason with one of the dermatologists and started a private practice in Kirkland, and went back to school in the evening to get my master aesthetic license. Once I finished that, I started the aesthetic side in that Kirkland office and was there for about 5 years. I got married and moved to Idaho during COVID, where I started a trucking company because that was the most lucrative thing I could think of that wasn't going to come to a halt. I came back in 2022 to Washington and went right back into aesthetics, launching other businesses' aesthetic sides. I launched an aesthetic business for Dermatology Arts in Bellevue, Washington, and while I was there, I rolled out a SkinCeuticals flagship for L'Oreal. Over the past couple of years, I've launched multiple med spas, dermatology clinics, worked in plastic surgery for a couple of years, in bariatric surgery. I've always stayed on top of technologies, not only in the aesthetic part of dermatology, but also in the medical part, and I've merged the two. I've always been really focused on regenerative medicine throughout my master aesthetician career. Most recently, over the past year, I have developed a concept for a device that basically heals DNA at a regular level and can change it between A form, Z form, and it has a feedback loop.
