Ashley
RN | Operating Room Nurse / Aesthetic Nurse
Ashley is our operating room nurse. She has medical aesthetic experience in all things lasers: laser hair removal, laser tattoo removal, IPL, Clear and Brilliant, etc. After a while she wanted to explore the world of surgery and decided to apply for an aesthetic OR job which is how she became a part of the Cheng team! She loves being able to help people become more confident in their own skin, which is why the aesthetic industry has always been of interest to her. In her free time, you'll find her exploring the Bay Area.
