I’m a Florida gal and a board-certified nurse practitioner with a passion for clean, eco-friendly living and an eye for business. Throughout my career, I’ve spent time learning about the best ways to care for our bodies, and even run a beauty business myself. I launched Shining Star back in 2017 to share my passion for clean skincare and eco-conscious and sustainable living, dedicated to reviewing some of the newest, hottest, and supposedly cleanest personal care products on the market. When I’m not shooting content or experimenting with new products, you can find me practicing martial arts, hiking and exploring nature, or spending time with my three German Shepherds.
