I was drawn to nursing over 16 years ago by my passion to help others. As my role transitioned from ICU nurse to nurse practitioner, the way I’m able to help people has also changed. As a nurse practitioner, I love building patient relationships and educating patients about health and wellness. I was drawn to aesthetics because I believe it’s a great way to empower patients and improve self confidence. I love being able to give patients the opportunity for self care and customized treatments.

I started my journey in health care as a trained nurse at the age of 21. Over the years, I have had a rewarding career in emergency medicine, critical care, and flight nursing where high acuity care has helped me realize the importance of preventative care. At Health by Design we support a “look good, feel good” approach where self-care and self-esteem are held in high regard. We offer a variety of services all designed to safely improve your health, appearance, and self-esteem. Our treatment plans are individualized to meet your unique goals. Call to schedule a consult or try one of our many treatment options!

I graduated with my BSN from Bellarmine University in 2007. I have spent my nursing career in emergency, intensive care and transport nursing. While I still love caring for the critically ill and/or injured, I’m thrilled to join the well ness side of nursing at Health By Design as an aesthetic nurse/nurse injector. I love coming into work every day, knowing I will be making a positive difference in someone’s life. I am excited to continue fulfilling my passion of helping people feel better and lead happier lives through the services offered at HBD and I look forward to sharing my joy with you on your wellness journey! Outside of work, my husband and I stay busy loving and supporting our 4 children and 4 fur-babies through this great adventure we call life.

My passion to become a skincare treatment specialist began later in life. Suffering from sensitive skin, telangiectasia and rosacea myself, I decided to take a proactive approach by seeking out a local Esthetician. Our conversation around the scope of her career ignited my desire to help others with their skin issues and led me to apply to the Lancaster School of Cosmetology & Therapeutic Bodywork and become a Licensed Esthetician. This allows me to help others with skin disorders and those wanting to achieve the skin they desire.

I graduated from the Esthetician program at Central Pennsylvania Institute of Technology in November 2022. My interest in the field of skin care started when I was employed by Lancôme and saw the benefits of the products used by the clientele. Working as an Esthetician I am able to offer help to those with skin issues and allow them to feel more confident about themselves. I love being able to enhance one’s natural beauty.

I am one of the Estheticians at Health by Design Wellness. I started my journey as an esthetician a year ago at Metro Beauty Academy and It wasn’t till 3 years prior to that, that I really started struggling with my own skin. I had developed painful cystic acne and had no idea how to handle it. Looking into what could help my own skin is what really created my passion for skin/skin care. Learning about why I was having flare ups or what ingredients in products would help my own skin and make me feel confident is what really inspired me to join this field. As an esthetician I hope to help everyone who steps in my room feel comfortable, confident and most importantly beautiful in their own skin!
