As a PA I have worked in women’s health for 20+ years with the goal of making my patients feel their best! Now as a certified injector,  this is a natural extension to allow people to enhance their natural beauty and  gain even more confidence. I love working with clients to formulate a plan that will make people wonder what your secret is.  As a woman who is trying to age “gracefully” I understand that sometimes we need a little help. Iam a D’Youville University graduate and have been a Buffalo girl  my whole life.  My two teenage girls help me stay on point with what is trending, and also give me those wrinkles that have now been so easily erased. I am honored to work with the amazing team at Blu and can’t wait to see you!
