Hi, I’m Tania, a Medical Aesthetician and Laser Technician with over five years of experience in the aesthetics industry and a strong passion for advanced skin treatments and medical-grade skincare. Originally from El Paso, Texas, I moved to the Tampa Bay area to pursue my career in medical aesthetics and continue expanding my knowledge in the field.
After graduating from BHI in Tampa, I focused on developing my skills in laser technology, medical-grade skincare, corrective skin treatments, and advanced aesthetic procedures. I enjoy helping clients achieve healthier, more radiant skin through personalized treatment plans designed to deliver real, lasting results.
I am currently pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) at St. Leo University, where I’m continuing to expand my medical knowledge and training to offer more advanced aesthetic treatments, including neurotoxins and dermal fillers in the future.

Hi, I’m Avery, a licensed Medical Aesthetician with over six years of experience helping clients achieve their healthiest, most radiant skin. Originally from Ormond Beach, I moved to the Tampa Bay area in 2019 to pursue my career in aesthetics, and I’ve been passionate about providing advanced, results-driven skincare treatments ever since.
I’ve completed advanced certifications and hands-on training in medical-grade skincare, customized corrective facials, microneedling, PRP treatments, and advanced skin rejuvenation techniques. I love combining the latest technology with high-quality medical-grade products to create personalized treatment plans that help my clients achieve real, lasting results.
My goal is to make every client feel comfortable, confident, and cared for while helping them reach their skincare goals. I believe great skin is built through education, consistency, and treatments that are tailored to each individual.
When I’m not in the treatment room, I enjoy spending time on the water (always with SPF in mind), staying active at the gym, and spending time with my husband, my dog, and friends.
I’m so excited to be part of the Skin Firm Aesthetics + Wellness team and look forward to helping you achieve healthy, glowing skin.
