After an internship at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in medicine, she finished her residency in dermatology at the University of California, Irvine, where she served as the chief of volunteer and satellite clinics. She has also conducted research on psoriasis, co-authored a paper on the role of topical and oral vitamins in photoaging for the American Academy of Dermatology, and authored a noteworthy paper and chapter in a prominent dermatology textbook on alopecia.
