I am an AACS Fellowship-trained Cosmetic Surgeon, and a life-long lover of beauty and aesthetics. I have a B.S. in Biochemistry, and received my M.D. degree at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. I completed my residency training in General Surgery at Lehigh Valley Health Network in Pennsylvania, and went on to complete a Face + Body Cosmetic Surgery Fellowship in Bellevue, Washington. During my fellowship, I learned and developed full-scope aesthetic surgical technique from a diverse faculty of Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeons, Facial Cosmetic and Plastic Surgeons, and Oculoplastic and Craniofacial surgeons. I took my favorite approaches from each surgeon to implement what I believe are the best techniques for my patients.

My aesthetics resume demonstrates my passion of beauty. I started becoming interested in the artistry of makeup from an early age, and how makeup can completely change appearance, and overall confidence. My love of makeup, hair, and fashion expanded while in college, from learning so much from my sorority sisters (this was before the days of Tik Tok tutorials). After college, I went on to compete in the Miss America and Miss USA pageant systems, solidifying my knowledge of many things beauty and further training my professional aesthetic eye.

I am dedicated to establishing personalized surgical treatments for my patients with the best long-term results. I appreciate that beauty is subjective, anatomy is variable, and each person has a different intention of their aesthetic goals. My job is to listen to my patients, understand their vision, formulate the best approach, and execute it well, all the while providing safe medical care.

I am grateful that I have been able to combine my two greatest passions – surgery and aesthetics – as my career. Outside of work, my hobbies include travel, food, music, boating, snowboarding, exploring nature, dogs and dog rescues, but most importantly, spending time with family and friends.

I am excited to join La Belle Vie, and I very much look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your aesthetic goals!
