Bio

Hi, I’m Rayna, a registered nurse with a deep passion for dermatology and aesthetic medicine. I’m currently pursuing my Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) degree so I can one day open my own aesthetic practice and empower others through beauty, confidence, and care. Nursing has taught me the value of resilience, advocacy, and compassion — even in challenging environments. Despite facing adversity in the workplace, I’ve stayed grounded in my purpose: to provide safe, ethical, and patient-centered care. I’m applying for scholarships to help ease the financial burden of graduate school so I can continue growing in this field and eventually serve others through my own business. I believe in working hard, staying humble, and letting your work speak for itself — and that’s exactly what I plan to do.
