Get to Know Me

Jennifer’s passion for aesthetics began through her own skincare journey. Growing up in southern Minnesota, she struggled with acne as a teenager and experienced firsthand how deeply skin concerns can affect confidence and self-esteem. That experience inspired her interest in skincare and ultimately led her to a career focused on helping others feel confident and healthy in their skin.

She earned her Advanced Practice Esthetics license and Medical Esthetics degree from St. Paul College in 2010, where she completed rigorous training in clinical skincare, laser technologies, and advanced treatment modalities. During this time, she also achieved her CIDESCO certification, one of the most prestigious and internationally recognized credentials in the aesthetics industry, reflecting advanced education, clinical expertise, and a commitment to the highest standards of skincare practice worldwide.

Jennifer spent 10 years working alongside dermatologists in the Twin Cities, gaining extensive experience treating a wide range of skin conditions and concerns. This dermatology background continues to shape her thoughtful, results-driven approach to patient care.

My Treatment Philosophy

My treatment philosophy centers on education, consistency, and long-term skin health. I believe patients should feel informed and empowered about their skin, and I take pride in simplifying the often-overwhelming world of skincare and treatments. By explaining the science behind ingredients, technologies, and treatment options, I create customized plans designed to deliver meaningful, lasting results to my patients.

I am very committed to ongoing education and advanced training to stay at the forefront of the ever-evolving aesthetics industry.

My Favorite Treatments & Products

I especially enjoy performing BBL®, HALO®, and MicroLaser Peel® treatments,  and often layer technologies to address multiple concerns in a single appointment. This strategic approach allows me to improve pigmentation, texture, tone, and collagen stimulation while maximizing both results and convenience for my patients.

I’m also passionate about medical-grade skincare and helping my patients understand how evidence-based ingredients support long-term skin health.

Some of my favorite products include:

• (plated)™ Skin Science products – Regenerative skincare powered by platelet-derived exosome technology to support skin repair and rejuvenation.
• Daily broad-spectrum SPF – The single most important step for protecting skin and preventing premature aging.
• SkinMedica TNS® Advanced+ Serum – A powerful growth factor serum that improves firmness, texture, and overall skin quality.
• SkinMedica HA5® Collection – Deeply hydrating formulations that support smoother, healthier-looking skin.
