About Me
Since childhood, I've been driven to become a medical doctor, forging a path unique in my family. After graduating from the University of the State of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ) in 2000, where my passion for dermatology blossomed, I completed my post-graduate training at the Dermatology Institute Prof. Rubem David Azulay. I honed my skills further through prestigious scholarship programs and became a Brazilian board-certified dermatologist dermatologist in 2003.
​
In 2003, I joined Prof. R. D. Azulay's team, contributing to clinical research and scientific literature while instructing in dermatology. My career then led me to practice in Brazil's Capital city, specializing in cosmetic and medical dermatology until 2016. Relocating to Vancouver, Canada, I expanded my expertise with a Master of Administrative Science (MAS) degree from Fairleigh Dickinson University in 2017.
​
In 2023, I attained licensure as a board-certified naturopathic doctor in British Columbia, graduating from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine. With years of experience as a Brazilian Board-Certified Dermatologist, my focus spans cosmetic injections, lasers, minor surgery, and various skin treatments.
​
I continuously dedicate my time to professional development, attending courses and conferences, to improve my skills in the fields of naturopathic medicine, and aesthetic and integrative dermatology. I am committed to offering you the best and safest care possible and the highest level of medical aesthetic procedures with natural results.
