the tea about me

I’m Aileen, a middle child 80s baby. I grew up in a traditional Filipino household alongside my two sisters in Gurnee, IL. I am a Full Practice Authority Family Nurse Practitioner in the state of Illinois.

I work as a dermatology nurse practitioner at an outpatient hospital clinic. I manage general derm patients (skin cancer surveillance, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, vitiligo, warts, acne), I also manage my own surgical derm cases (biopsies and skin cancer excisions), as well as cosmetic patients (Botox, BBL, laser hair reduction). Acne patients are my favorite office visit because of their genuine happy smile I’m able to reveal when my patient and I unlock the treatment and regimen that finally clears their acne!

I married my high school sweetheart and we raise our 2 daughters in the northern suburbs of Chicago. I’m an amateur golfer and my spirit animal is Samuel L. Jackson. My lifetime goal is to be a contestant on Wheel of Fortune!
