A passion for learning is at the root of Jessica Marie's success. We catch up with our ASCP 2020 Esty of the Year, who is now taking her passion for advanced skin care and beauty services and passing it on to a new generation of students as she prepares to open her very own training center! During this episode, we focus on esthetic licensure and discuss how advanced esthetic training will help estheticians get to that next level to flourish in their career. About Jessica Marie Jessica Marie has always had a desire to help people. She spent nearly two decades in the medical field in a wide range of positions and settings, including as a nursing assistant, medical assistant, phlebotomist, medical thermographer, and EMT. She entered medical esthetics to help people in a different way. After spending years as a certified cosmetic injector, Jessica decided to go to esthetician school so she could help her clients from start to finish, beginning with skin care all the way up to injectables. She is passionate about working with people with cancer given her background in oncology, and she is certified in permanent cosmetics and 3D areola pigmentation. Jessica is the founder of J Marie Skin Studio in Longmont, Colorado, and J Marie Signature Skincare and Makeup. Jessica won ASCP Skin Deep's Avant Garde Makeup Challenge and is also the proud recipient of ASCP's 2020 Esthetician of the Year Award.
