Education and Early Career

Jessica earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Lenoir-Rhyne University in Hickory, North Carolina. During her time at the university, she competed as a four-year collegiate athlete on the women’s soccer team, an experience that strengthened her discipline, teamwork, and commitment to excellence.

After completing her nursing degree in 2017, Jessica began her career in medical-surgical nursing before expanding into specialized surgical care. These early roles provided a strong foundation in patient safety, clinical decision-making, and compassionate care.

Experience Across Surgical and Clinical Settings

Jessica’s professional background spans several areas of healthcare, including orthopedic surgery, plastic surgery, and operating room nursing. Her experience in both inpatient and outpatient surgical environments has given her a comprehensive understanding of patient care throughout the surgical journey.

Her clinical experience includes roles at Carolinas HealthCare System–Pineville, Novant Health Charlotte Orthopedic Hospital, Novant Health Presbyterian Medical Center, and Atrium Health, where she worked in surgical coordination and operating room settings focused on plastic, reconstructive, and ENT procedures.

Jessica also served as a travel nurse in the operating room at the Medical University of South Carolina, further expanding her surgical knowledge and experience.

A Focus on Natural, Balanced Results

Patients often appreciate her thorough, educational approach and her focus on results that look refreshed, balanced, and authentic. Her personal philosophy is simple: every patient deserves the opportunity to look and feel their best.
