As the second born of four siblings, Rowena spent nearly 30 years navigating the tech world in Corporate HR. Born and raised in the Bay Area, her adventures with adult acne and the joys of trying to age positively nudged her toward a second career as a licensed esthetician.

She is passionate about skincare because she understands firsthand how deeply personal it can be and how it can have such an impact. At Second Born Skin, we believe that everyone deserves a blend of kindness, empathy, and results-focused care that helps them meet their unique skin goals.

On a more personal note, Rowena is a proud mom, happily married to her partner in crime, and a staunch ally of the LGBTQIA+ community. She is currently working on convincing her husband that their family needs a dog, and she’s got a stash of delightfully corny jokes ready to lift your spirits if you ever need a good laugh!
