Team

Amy has been working in the aesthetics industry since 2009, bringing experience from aesthetic dermatology and cosmetic surgery centers. Amy helped shape the medical aesthetics practice founded by Dr. Marcy Street, dermatologist, Mohs surgeon, and medical director of Doctor's Approach Dermatology and Med Spa Laser Center in Okemos, MI.

After taking a break from the industry to raise her two young children, Amy joined the MSU Department of Surgery team in April 2023.

“I enjoy the ongoing education and advancements in technology within this industry. It’s exciting to be utilizing the most advanced light and energy-based platforms on the market; to make corrective and preventative treatment options more obtainable. This team at MSU is the best there is, in my opinion! Any provider would want their clients to have the best possible outcome. That’s what we strive for, and it’s what we are succeeding at.”
