Allow me to introduce myself... I was born on the beautiful island of Jamaica, then raised near the elevated mountain landscapes of upstate New York. Most of my adult years were spent in Albany NY, where I achieved my Bachelors-Degree in Communication & Rhetoric, African Studies and English. During my junior year I was bitten by the business bug, and I was then forever enchanted by the allure of enterprise, ownership and serving customers. It as a year after graduation that I was certain that I wanted to dedicate my life to skin care, selfcare and the importance of everyday healing of the body. By 2005 I began to study, research, and practice the art of esthetics, completing and passing with honors my certification, state license and many continued education classes. I give a big thanks to the Aesthetic Science Institute in Latham NY. I couldn't have asked for a better environment to learn. I remember feeling well educated, ready, and confident. I had become a Skin Care Therapist, and the rest was history, well herstory ;)

Looking back at my career for the last 18 years, I proudly enjoy knowing that I have assisted thousands of clients improve, correct and manage their skin heath, and overall wellness across this nation. I am continuously honored to be a part of any transformative result, by way of one-on-one customized skin care consults, treatments, and premium product recommendations. I love creating space for people to relax and restore themselves. I think my clients enjoy time at The Modern Hue because they learn, revitalize, and get the support that is needed in seasons of change... I offer treatments in-office or by online telecare. I have premium medical quality vegan products, that all have been vetted and curated by me, this is very special. Its wonderful knowing you have a pro on your side, every step of the way. I want my clients to have access to at- home products so their experience in treatment expends into their personal life.  Skin care and selfcare is a lifestyle, thus the online shop is always growing, expanding, and sports 3 different professional lines.

I have worked with the best-of-the-best and am proud to be a pioneering Esthetician featured in Milady Cengage textbooks since 2008. My techniques and methods have been trademarked by the best in the world, and used to showcase how esthetics is done.

Special mention to the companies below that have allowed me space to learn, grow, and innovate the self-care culture as a top skin care therapist:
MAC Cosmetics, Austin Institute, Ulta, Sallies, Origins, American Laser Company, and European Wax Center. With well over 30k clinical hours in the wellness and beauty field I am highly specialized to treatment all stages of acne, rapid aging, sensitive skin, eczema, uneven complexion, and more. I spend time on habits, patterns and mindsets that impact the body as a whole. This is so important when we want long term results.
 
I initially got into the spa industry to give myself a chance to regain a calm mind, balanced energy, and to develop a way to have clearer skin too.  As young as 15 I suffered with acne. It worsened as I got older to cystic acne, which was devastating, so I understand the impact of troubled skin, a stressed mind, poor diet, unbalanced hormones... It is all interconnected. I am over 40 years young now and am confident in having cracked the code on acne, good living, and super selfcare.  I have developed many methods to healing the skin, along with the mind and body. For without a holistic appreciation towards beauty, your victory will be short lived.
