She was diagnosed with granulomatous rosacea in May 2019.

She enjoys helping her clients overcome the obstacles of their skin conditions, and being able to really relate to them.

Quotes
“Being an esthetician, I really take care of my skin and take pride in it. So all of a sudden it was red and crusty and there were these pustules all over the place. And I was super self-conscious, wanted to cover my face all the time. I wore a mask when I was at work and a bandaid over my nose. It was difficult.” [3:10]
“You just have to be consistent with a good skincare regimen, with a good prescription from your dermatologist, and try to remain positive and know that it will get better eventually when you find the right things.” [9:22]
