Community Outreach & Patient Advocacy Co-Chair
Bio

Kendra brings 10+ years of experience in general and cosmetic dermatology. She is an expert in evaluating and treating conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, acne, acne scarring, hair loss, and performing mole removals. To achieve the best outcomes for her patients, she uses a range of modalities including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections, microneedling, LED light therapy, intralesional injections, biopsies, chemical peels, and lasers. She has a special interest in conditions that commonly affect melanin-rich skin—particularly keloids, skin discoloration, and ingrown hairs.

Kendra is known for engaging patients in their care, answering questions thoroughly, and empowering informed decisions. She speaks on dermatologic conditions and has been featured in Vogue on inclusivity for skin of color in the skincare industry, and with AccuWeather advocating sunscreen use for melanoma awareness.

Committed to culturally informed care, Kendra believes awareness and sensitivity play a key role in prevention and treatment. She is a Diplomate Fellow of the Society of Dermatology Physician Assistants (SDPA) and an active member of the Skin of Color Society (SOCS) and the Caribbean Dermatology Association (CDA).

Outside of work, Kendra loves to travel—recent destinations include Egypt, Panama, Iceland, Ghana, and several islands across the Caribbean.
