Her hobbies include reading, crocheting, binge watching and spoiling her dog Cashmere. In her own words: "What interests me in aesthetics is my own love of skin care. Being a woman of color, it is not always easy to find products and treatments that are suitable or safe for my skin, so I’ve always done my due diligence to research anything I’m using. When I found CCFPS and saw that they strive to provide safe and impactful treatments for all skin types, it was like a match made in heaven!"
