Some milestones just hit different. š„¹
Being presented by Merz Aesthetics as a Center of Excellence + MAX Merz Pop-Up Educator for the 2026ā2027 fiscal year is one of those moments I donāt think Iāll ever forget.
This has been a personal and professional goal of mine since moving to the Lowcountry two years ago and deciding to build something of my own.
What makes this one even more special is my history with Merz. Iāve been a huge believer in and advocate for the Merz portfolio for the last six years. Iāve used these products in every practice Iāve been a part of, educated with them, grown with them, and genuinely believed in what they allow us to do for our patients.
But achieving this milestone inside my own practice, as a solo injector and provider, feels different.
Refine started with a vision, a lot of faith, and a willingness to work really freaking hard for something I believed could be special.
There have been long days, uncomfortable decisions, risks, sacrifices, and plenty of moments where the next level felt really far away.
And then there are moments like this.
Moments that remind you that passion matters. Consistency matters. Showing up when no one is watching matters. Believing in your vision before there is proof that itās working matters.
To be recognized by a company I have respected and supported for so many years, for a practice I built from the ground up, is incredibly humbling.
This one means a lot.
And maybe the best part?
I still feel like Iām just getting started. š¤
Thank you, Merz Aesthetics, for believing in me, trusting me to educate, and allowing me to represent a portfolio and an industry I care so deeply about.
Center of Excellence. MAX Educator. 2026ā2027.
What a full-circle moment.
