In 2012 Nurse Practitioner, Ellen, graduated from Washington College with a bachelors degree in Psychology. The following year, she completed her bachelors degree from Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing. Upon graduating, her professional nursing career began in an Adult ICU, where she worked until 2015, which is when she began travel nursing. She spent several months working in an ICU in Texas, when a nursing opportunity in California was presented to her. In 2016 she moved to California to continue working as an intensive care nurse. Shortly after moving to the west coast, she accepted a job offer from a medical spa to experience a new type of nursing while continuing to work in the hospital. The rest is history!​ Since devoting herself full-time to wellness and aesthetic medicine, Ellen has held several jobs treating patients and has even became a trainer for multiple companies. She currently trains new aesthetic injectors on neurotoxin and dermal filler techniques for the medical aesthetic certification company The Esthetic Skin Institute, and the education and professional mentorship company, InjectAbility Institute. Ellen loves being a trainer because those opportunities allow her to collaborate with like-minded professionals in the wellness space, which she loves to do. “It’s amazing to see all that aesthetic and wellness medicine has to offer patients and providers alike. It is so gratifying to be able to not only watch confidence bloom from aesthetic treatments, but I also get the satisfaction of helping patients FEEL their best with weight loss and wellness treatments! I feel lucky every day to work in this field.”
