Andrea Clarke BSN, RN, NP-S | Aesthetic Provider
Andrea has enjoyed a colorful and multifaceted 23-year career as a BSN-RN. Most of this span was spent in the cardiac space where she managed and scaled a cardiac remote monitoring company caring for patients with chronic heart rhythm challenges. Although she enjoyed a successful career as a Medtech executive, she continuously felt pulled toward the specialty of Aesthetic Medicine. Having started as an aesthetic patient herself, she often daydreamed about how she might one day pivot to the speciality. Indeed, it has always fascinated her. Her dream came true after she and her sister sold the company they had built and, as fate and good luck would have it, she found Ashley Carmen. Under the training of Ashley, over a seven month residency, Andrea’s passion was unlocked and she is truly living fulfilled. In addition to practicing as an aesthetic nurse provider, she is also pursuing her NP graduate degree at Georgetown University, studying women’s health. Andrea ultimately plans to combine her love of aesthetics with her passion around the wellness of women. Andrea’s favorite things include all things beauty, fashion, interior design and gardening. She and her family reside in Washington DC. Follow her on IG @thefulfilledinjector
