​​I am a style-fun-people loving wife to my best friend, mother of 3 and grandmother of 6 who loves to live on the edge and be challenged. I'm originally from New Mexico, but have called Las Vegas home since 1988.
After having cancer in 2014, five months of chemo took a serious toll on my skin and my self-esteem. Wanting to reverse these effects, a friend introduced me to a skincare brand which gave me amazing results, and I knew that this was something I needed to share.
I now have a passion to help people of any age, with any skin concern restore confidence and feel amazing about themselves again.
