I get to manage an amazing staff, teach students who are eager to learn medical aesthetics and how it can change lives, and still create relationships treating and serving clients. My favorite part is how it is always evolving. There is always something new to learn, and I can pass that knowledge on to students and clients. Working at NLI, there is such a huge choice of state of the art equipment to teach and treat with. I consider myself very fortunate to be a part of this family and to get to share my passion with so many.” – Sandra

• Hobbies: Having grown up in an Italian family and owning an Italian restaurant for forty years, my greatest passion is cooking. I enjoy entertaining family and friends while sharing delicious red wines from all over the world! I love golfing, hiking, biking, bowling and yoga, yoga, yoga!
• Pets: I inherited an Italian Greyhound/Chihuahua mix after my daughter rescued him from nearly being struck by a car. His name is Marley and he brings me great joy. Smart as a whip that little guy!
• Hometown: I was born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio and was blessed to move to Scottsdale nine years ago. Paradise!
• Favorite Treatment: Micro-Needling, IPL Photofacial, and Botox
The most important part of my life is my family and friends. They are the most valuable blessing and treasure to me! Early in my career, I worked in radio as a promotion director for the #1 station in Cleveland. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet a lot of people and gave me the chance to be involved in an array of community events. I then went on to obtain my real estate license selling new construction and developed a love and passion for interior design, making a career out of it for years. My passion for medical aesthetics began when I started receiving services to reverse sun damage that developed over years from too much sun exposure as well as my desire to reverse the signs of aging. The results are amazing! I am blessed to have an amazing daughter who inspires me every day with her inner beauty, loving heart and soul and her undying passion for life.

When I’m not working, I love to be at home with my husband and my dog. I like hanging out with friends, or going to see a great live concert. My favorite is the Goo Goo Dolls, I have been to 52 of their shows over the past 19 years, and don’t plan on stopping.

Working here has been life changing for me and it’s awesome to be involved in helping others change their lives too. I believe that we all have the ability to achieve our goals and dreams.
