How old are your kids and how long have you lived in the area? My two girls are 10 and 12. I have lived in Westport since 1990 (!) and Weston since 2013.
How did you end up where you are now in terms of your job, or whatever passion project it is you might be doing? I grew up around esthetics and skin care, and loved to use “high end” products from a young age. The mantra I always heard was “take care of your skin, take care of you”, and even though I didn’t understand the purpose of the message then, I truly have an appreciation for it now! Now, I get to incorporate that message, along with medical procedures and technologies everyday. I LOVE coming to work, and I love combining artistry and science with each patient, and giving them a treatment plan unique to them.
What was your best memory from 2021, a strange year we know… As funny as it sounds, traveling the world with the family! We took advantage of decreased crowds in destinations, along with us being cautious, to take trips to Central America, Europe, Mexico, and closer road trips to places like Newport and Watch Hill. I think our kids realized that we are actually pretty fun!
