About Me
I am a certified nurse aesthetic specialist and a member of the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, practicing skin care since 2003. I was born and raised in the former Soviet Union and received an Aesthetics degree in 2001 in Ukraine. I then moved to the United States and obtained licensure in Aesthetics from the Skin Care Institute of Chicago, IL. After practicing skin care at the “Best” voted North Shore Salon and Spa in Winnetka, IL, I opened a private practice in the Chicago Suburbs.
I am always willing to go beyond the aesthetic license. My passion, love, and desire to grow int he industry brought me to Nursing School. After graduating from the Northbrook College of Healthcare in Chicago with a Nursing degree, I worked at a dermatology clinic and provided the latest and most effective skin treatments in addition to assisting with surgical dermatology and skin cancer treatments.
I completed American Academy go Facial Esthetics (AAFE) courses specializing in cosmetic nursing, injection by focusing on assessment, and treatment of the aging face. I read facial wrinkles and volume loss with injectable fillers (Juvederm), neurotoxins (Botox), and Collagen Stimulators. I’m fluent in Russian, Ukrainian, and English. I moved to Colorado in 2016 and now my dream is coming true and I have opened my own practice - Skin Care Center. I work with Medical Director Dr. Jonathan Gallen, MD.
I am especially fond of spending time with my daughter who is a nursing student at UCD, and I enjoy outdoor activities including skiing and hiking. My number one motto is: “A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step”.
