June Employee Spotlight: Tristen
Our Employee Spotlight series shows off our wonderful staff and takes you along to learn more about the stories and backgrounds of our team members at Bliss Dermatology + Wellness. This month, we’re excited to shine the spotlight on our Medical Assistant, Tristen.
Tell us about yourself! How did you get into dermatology?
I got into dermatology randomly, I was just applying in different healthcare fields. Here I am 10 years later and would never consider any other field.
Why are you passionate about dermatology?
Seeing patients’ confidence improves, sometimes people have life-altering skin issues or are so unhappy with their appearance that it deters them from living a truly happy life. All it takes is a visit with us and some cream or a laser treatment or maybe even some filler and instant happiness shows on their face. Being able to be a part of that process is such a joy.
What motivates you to come in and do your best every day?
Teaching my daughter the importance of not only showing up to work every day but doing your best and with a good attitude. Also, when you love what you do it’s easy to want to do your best.
What advice do you have for someone considering a career in the dermatology field?
I would say absolutely do it, it’s so rewarding. The opportunity to learn new things is endless.
What is your #1 skin care tip?
Invest in medical grade skincare, the results are worth it. It does not have to be complicated; 2 or 3 products can make such a difference with not only how your skin looks but also feels.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
I am a born and raised Florida girl so naturally I spend a lot of time outdoors (with sunscreen on of course), gardening, going to the beach, or playing in the water. My husband and I have an almost 3-year-old daughter, three dogs (two rescue mutts and a French bulldog) and a tortoise so we have a very busy but comical household.
Stay tuned for next month’s Employee Spotlight to get another close up look at our spectacular team at Bliss Dermatology + Wellness.
