Allow me to property introduce myself.
I was born on the beautiful island of Jamaica in the 80s, then raised near the elevated mountain landscapes of upstate New York in the 90s.
My 2000s 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 forever enchanted by the freedom and creativity of entrepreneurship, necessity of wellness and the honor of serving others. After graduation I was certain I wanted to dedicate my life to clinical skin care, personal selfcare and the growing importance of daily healing. Natural and sustainable beauty was and still to this day is the goal.

Between 2004 and 2006 I studied, researched, and practiced, tested and opened my own business. I was immersed in the art of esthetics.
I received my certification from Aesthetic Science Institute in Latham NY with a golden seal of honor. I have been licensed in both NY and Georgia as a Skin Care Therapist, having also studied at the International Dermal Institute where I expanded my knowledge beyond common core classes.
I remember feeling well educated, curious, and confident back then.
I was my first subject for services, having battled severe acne most of my teenage years and well into adulthood. I became a Skin Care Therapist to help myself & others, my mission was clear & so the rest was HERstory! 

I love knowing that I have assisted thousands of clients improve, correct and manage their skin heath, as well as their overall wellness, across the east coast and internationally. I am honored to be a part of anyone's transformative journey, 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 that 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, because is 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 adopted by the best in the world, and used to showcase how esthetics should performed: with high standards of spa service and care.  With well over 30k clinical hours in the wellness and beauty field I specialize in 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 and e improvements.

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, just to name a few.
 
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  deep impact of troubled skin, a stressed mind, poor diet and 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.
