Meet Wendi, your mentor.
Wendi started her undergraduate career at Drexel University in Philadelphia. She ended up choosing the field of medicine after graduating and went on to get degrees in respiratory therapy and in nursing. She worked for years in pediatric critical care (NICU, PICU and pediatric CICU). She received her Master’s (MSN) as a Family Nurse Practitioner, and later her Doctor of Nursing Practice. She has been published in the Journal of Aesthetic and Plastic Nursing (2023). Both her master’s Thesis and Doctoral Project are published and available through ProQuest and open access.
In 2012, she moved from critical care to medical aesthetics. Her background in design made the transition to facial aesthetics very intuitive. The opportunity to work with a very large number of patients in a small amount of time fine-tuned her skill at natural-looking filler placement. Her excellent results drew the attention of a national aesthetics company who positioned her to become a physician trainer. In that role, and as an independent trainer, Wendi has trained over 1200 providers nationally, primarily in dermatology and plastic surgery offices.
Wendi currently treats patients at SkinOvation Advanced Aesthetics in Asheville, NC. This also serves as a clinical site for BSN and MSN students at South College. When Wendi isn’t treating patients, she is training the aesthetic superstars of the future.
