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 freedom of entrepreneurship, wellness and the honor of serving others. It was 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 mind body and soul. By 2005 I began to study, research, and practice the art of esthetics. I completed my certification from Aesthetic Science Institute in Latham NY with a gold seal of honor. I remember feeling well educated, curious, and confident. I became a Skin Care Therapist to help myself and others, my mission was clear and so the rest was history! (Herstory ;)

I proudly enjoy knowing that I have assisted many thousands of clients improve, correct and manage their skin heath, as well as their overall wellness, across the world. 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, it isn't often a business grants access to 3 different professional skin care lines. 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... innovation is key.

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 should perform. I encourage high standards of spa service and care.  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.

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. 
 
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.
