The Instructor

I began my career in 1996 studying Esthetics in San Francisco at Zenzie’s Beauty College. After moving to the resort area of Palm Springs, California in 2000 I became the Lead Esthetician at the Hyatt Regency Hotel on Palm Canyon Drive where I continued to study advanced skills in Esthetics and Spa Management. I then also worked as a Cosmetic Surgeon’s Assistant for Rim Marcinkus, M.D., Ph.D. D.SC... and provided Medical Esthetic treatments to this clientele. Then decided to take my career to Phoenix in search of more opportunity including studying Permanent Makeup and working in the famous resort city of Sedona for Dr. Bendy So, MD, FACS, the first surgeon in North America to do vein surgery. I also became a licensed instructor and taught Esthetics at 2 Phoenix area schools and graduated in Advanced Micropigmentation in 2006.

I have been practicing Esthetics and Permanent Makeup in Virginia since 2012 while working for Kyle Choe, M.D., F.A.C.S. at The Choe Center for Facial Plastic Surgery which specializes in facial plastic surgery. I taught at the well-known Chrysm Institute of Esthetics in Virginia Beach, and also recently trained in Scalp Micropigmentation in Miami. I opened the Virginia Permanent Makeup Institute in 2016 and have recently reopened the school as the Advanced Permanent Makeup Institute in Virginia Beach, providing the 200-hour Permanent Makeup coursework and practical instruction for Virginia licensure. When coursework is completed, students are provided with tutoring and exam prep for Virginia State Licensing exam, Education is provided without limit throughout their career.
