I have worked in the medical field for over 20 years. I started as a CNA, then became a medical assistant. I dreamed of becoming a nurse after seeing my grandfathers hospice nurse care for him in his last moments. It inspired me, but I was hesitant and scared to do it as a single parent of two boys. Once I got married and my boys were older I took the plunge and decided to purse my dream as a nurse, I became LPN and then on to my RN. I have been a bedside nurse for 5 years and have floated to many different floors and hospitals. But healthcare is not only challenging, it’s also taxing. I wanted to take a different route to still be able to care for others and make a change. I have been a beauty guru for years, deep diving into makeup, skincare, and self care. I have struggled with aging, and feeling comfortable with myself during the process. That’s when I realized I wanted to help other women/men navigate the road of becoming older and still feel good about themselves. Refined Beauty is not only about feeling confident about yourself, it’s about making subtle changes, and finding a more natural balance. It’s my own version of what beauty is meant to be.
