About Your Technician

As a trans person of color who has spent more than 40 hours under the needle myself, I know intimately how exposed and vulnerable that chair can feel. Over the years, I kept encountering practitioners who were politically conservative, dismissive of my pain, invested in normative beauty standards, or too quick to project their own ideas about gender onto me. Eventually, it became clear that there was a real gap in my city—a lack of spaces grounded in care, self-determination, and bodily autonomy. So I chose to fill that gap by building the kind of environment I once needed.
I first received my initial certifications in electrolysis while training at the Berkowits School in NYC. I started a private practice where I worked on hundreds of different queer clients across thousands of sessions over the course of three years. During my time studying various forms of epilation, I was trained and licensed in laser hair removal as well.
After moving to Los Angeles, I became fully state-licensed in electrolysis by the Cosmetology Board of California, and was additionally endorsed by The Society for Clinical & Medical Hair Removal as a Certified Medical Electrologist and Clinical Electrologist. These SCMHR titles are supplementary national certifications I’ve pursued beyond state licensure that are intended to demonstrate knowledge and adherence to the highest industry standards.
This wide training offers me a broad understanding of the intricacies of hair removal in each stage from beginning to completion.
