JENNIFER ZAMZOW

RN BSN
Jennie has been a nurse for 20 years and been in the heath care field for almost 25 years. She has specialized in emergency medicine for most of her career; where she developed her keen eye for detail and calming, reassuring bedside manner. A few of the reasons Jennie chose nursing as her career; was first, above all, to help others with both their physical and mental well being. She also was intrigued with all of the sub-specialties the profession had to offer. Although emergency nursing has given Jennie the opportunity to help many patients, sharpened many of her technical skills, given her a steady hand, a calming nature and given her unsurpassed assessment and organizational skills; she had forgotten about her intrigue for the different ways people can be helped.

As Jennie herself has gotten older and more mature, she has realized that one’s self esteem is often held in the way they view themselves. An enriched sense of self esteem tends to positively affect all aspects of life. This is what drew Jennie to another specialty within the medical field, her interest and passion for aesthetics. Jennie was trained by Jessica Jurkovic an expert and natural in the field. Jennie is very excited to continue and grow her love for helping people in her new field. Jennie is committed to aging gracefully, bringing a positive outlook to all aspects of life by combining beauty, health and fitness to achieve a positive mental and physical well-being. She looks forward to helping others along this journey with her.
