She continued her education for Family Nurse Practitioner in 2016 and has been working in cosmetic surgery & aesthetics ever since. She is a trained aesthetic injector with years of experience with different non-surgical modalities but opted to slide into the role of Office Manager. She assisted her husband in launching his dream of opening his own surgery center and thoroughly enjoys watching each patient fulfill their individual surgical goals, removing some of those insecurities and embracing a more confident self-image.

She is the wife of Dr. Gregory Lakin, and together they share 3 beautiful daughters. Being a mom is the role she finds the most rewarding! In her free time, she enjoys travel, cooking, reading, Pilates, and spending time with her family.

combining medicine and the creativity and artistry of aesthetics in her practice.

Her goal as an Injector is that when you sit in her chair that you feel comfortable, fully educated on your procedure, and confident and happy in your results when we are done. She loves forming connections with her patients and feels truly honored to be a part of your journey to becoming your most confident self, inside and out! She is a great listener and looks forward to creating an individualized plan to meet each of her patient’s unique goals and desires.
