passion in the Master modalities and education, and has been teaching masters exclusively for
the last 3 semesters. She brings years of experience from both the medical esthetics and spa
industries into her instruction with a major focus on client education and finding out the why-
why does the skin react this way? Why is this the best ingredient choice? Etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her greatest passion is creating an environment for independence and critical thinking so that
when students graduate her class, they feel ready and confident in their field. She looks to add a
bit of humor to her lectures and loves classic dad jokes\/puns- the cornier the better. In her
personal time, she’s an avid reader and cook\/baker. She and her husband enjoy fawning over
their fur babies and enjoying Richmond’s varied food and culture experiences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
