1. You’re being recognized as one of LA Living Magazine’s Game Changers. When you look back at your journey, what moments most shaped the direction of your work and purpose? Honestly, the moments that shaped me the most aren’t the glamorous ones. They’re the ones that brought me to my knees. There was a time in my life when I was living in a tiny apartment in Florida, fresh out of an abusive relationship, and I literally fell to the floor sobbing. I had been carrying so much.

Skincare Junkie was born directly from my exam room. I kept seeing patients who were doing “everything right” — using popular clean products, following trends — yet breaking out, inflamed, or sensitized.
