My Story
Hello! My name is Jen and welcome! :)
A little about me: I am originally from the Philippines and lived there for most of my young years. One of the things I enjoyed doing as a child was to pick beautiful jasmine-scented white flowers called sampaguita (sahm-pah-gee-tah) and enjoyed making them into necklaces so I could extend their beauty. I moved to the US when I was ten years old and fulfilled my dream of working in the medical field as a physician assistant. I have been a physician assistant now for more than a decade and feel blessed to continue enjoying this journey.
Recently I became involved in a clinic that provided skin implantation of a device to patients suffering with a condition associated with painful skin blistering when exposed to sunlight. This tiny skin implant was enough to provide the life-changing ability for patients to go out and enjoy daylight without painful symptoms. It was satisfying to know how a minimally invasive procedure can make such a positive difference in a person's life. This feeling of satisfaction from helping people become more confident and happier is what eventually led me to the practice of medical aesthetics.
It is my hope to provide that same happy confidence to my patients by working together to achieve their aesthetic goals and empower how they show up to the world. And of course, to bring it full circle I have dubbed myself as the @Sampaguita_Gal - at your service! ;)
