A LITTLE ABOUT ME…
From holding a paintbrush and playing piano at a young age, to placing a small infant in her mother’s arms for the first time as a neonatal ICU nurse, I have always been a person who is passionate about working with my hands. My long career in in-patient nursing and case management instilled a great amount of discipline in me, empowering me to pursue more creative endeavors — which ultimately led me to aesthetic nursing and cosmetic tattooing.
Medicine and beauty are forever evolving industries, making education a priority for me. I take continuing education courses and train with industry leaders to stay abreast of the most innovative techniques in aesthetic injectables and cosmetic tattooing, delivering stunning, natural-looking results. My goal as an injector and artist is simple: to make you feel good. It gives me no greater pleasure than providing services that help you feel beautiful—inside and out.
You can find me at Dr. Leslie Gerstman’s office in New York City, where I specialize in full facial balancing using advanced neurotoxins (such as Botox and Dysport) and dermal fillers to enhance natural beauty and restore facial harmony. I also offer bioregenerative injectable treatments like Sculptra and platelet-rich fibrin (PRFM) to stimulate collagen and promote long-lasting rejuvenation. For optimal skin health, I provide microneedling and customized medical-grade skincare protocols designed to improve skin tone, texture, and radiance.
In addition to injectables, I offer a full range of cosmetic tattooing services, including eyebrow, lip blush and lip neutralization, and lash liner tattooing. These semi-permanent treatments are ideal for clients seeking long-lasting definition and effortless beauty.
I also travel to California to provide cosmetic tattooing services exclusively. I work primarily out of a private studio in Oakland, where I continue to serve clients from the West Coast. I am originally from California, and while New York is now home, I will always remember - and return to - my roots.
