Such a great lecture with @smileswithsush on building patient trust and kickstarting a career in esthetics!

We especially appreciated her research tracking active dentists across Ohio by county, highlighting how saturated larger cities can be and why it’s so important to stand out early in your career. Her insight on networking straight out of school was incredibly valuable as well!

What an honor to be invited to speak at NYU’s Aesthetic Society, and alongside some of the brightest and talented in the field!!

A true full circle moment from being president of this society as a student to returning to share what I’ve built and learned beyond it.

Trust isn’t given, it’s built layer by layer.
What started as a creative outlet turned into something more. Your story is dynamic and the best time to take ownership of where it’s going is now.
