![]() From creating a practice room where other estheticians could practice their craft in a safe, socially distanced space during the pandemic, to pouring into Club HBHF to teach next gen athletes life skills such as financial literacy and nurturing mental health, to showing athletes how to devise a simple skincare regimen, I strive to help others achieve their goals. Paying it forward to help others is embedded in my DNA. My “fall beauty” entry won over the judges and connected me with influencers in the beauty community. I was encouraged by a Bellus Academy educator to enter the Circadia Rookie of the Year competition, so I channeled my inspiration and dove back into the world of social media that I’d exited 12 years earlier. It’s important to move past the fear to step into success when entering a career. At some point, they too were rookies, and now they are helping me learn and grow. I value my mentors and the Bellus Academy teachers who poured into me. As a graduate of Bellus Academy’s esthetics program, mentors played a big role in supporting my success. Just as there are numerous plays, strategies and tactics on the playing field, skincare professionals have a tremendous range of treatments, modalities, ingredients, and products that can support a winning self-care regimen.Ĭoaching and mentoring are also a big part of success in building a winning skincare career. I will always boast about my time at Pima Medical. ![]() Their guidance and instruction gave me a foundation for my medical career. Now, my actual goal is to be a missionary nurse for children in Southeast Asia. As I was slowly pushing him over that bridge, I just stopped and thought, ‘Oh my gosh, I want to be a nurse!’ This patient had no idea how he changed my future. I had this dramatic moment during the last week of my externship when I was asked to push a patient to another department, which required crossing a sky bridge. How did this happen you may ask? Well, I had a ‘moment.’ My visual picture of nursing has always been pushing a patient’s wheelchair. I am in the third semester of my bachelor of science in nursing program at West Coast University. Once there, I had no trouble obtaining an MA position in pediatrics at Comprehensive Community Health Centers. They even offered me a position, but I had plans to move back to LA to be near family. I felt very prepared for my externship at University of Washington where I was able to get experience in several different specialties. Everyone there was genuine and responsive and I received excellent hands-on instruction. I had the best experience at Pima Medical! The structured set up helped me be organized and I became a straight A student who never missed a class. ![]() ![]() A friend recommended Pima Medical Institute and after speaking with my advisor, I enrolled in their Medical Assistant (MA) program. Being Filipino, I felt like everyone expected me to become a doctor or a nurse and although I was interested in the medical field, I did NOT want to be a nurse. ![]()
