Ashley is a board certified nurse practitioner specializing in cosmetic injectables and medical aesthetic services. Upon obtaining her nursing degree from Arizona State University, Ashley dedicated numerous hours working across the United States as a travel nurse. After traveling extensively throughout the domestic United States, she was offered a job in the Cardiac ICU at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH). It was an opportunity to work in one of the most reputable hospitals with some of the top medical staff in the country. She joined the team at MGH and planted roots in Boston.

While working at MGH, Ashley began completing medical aesthetic courses and certifications, apprenticing under a plastic surgeon, and working towards her goal of becoming an aesthetic nurse. After five years of training and education, Ashley knew it was time to live out her dream of creating a MedSpa and wellness practice. Her goal was to create a community that revolved around vitality and self-care as key components to leading a healthy and happy lifestyle. In 2016, she founded Vega Vitality.

In 2018, Ashley graduated from the University of Massachusetts Boston with an Master of Science in Adult Health Nursing. She is currently a licensed Nurse Practitioner in the State of Massachusetts.

Ashley is a Galderma GAIN Trainer, and she enjoys working with fellow injectors and being on the cutting edge of the aesthetic industry.

Managing Partner - Vega Back Bay, Vega Seaport, Vega Fenton

Andy is excited to partner with Ashley and Abby to help build Vega Vitality's third location in Cary, NC, and expand the practice to the Research Triangle. Andy is the Medical Director of Vega Fenton and Vega Wellness (NC.)

Andy and Ashley's friendship predates Vega Vitality. In 2016, Ashley married Andy's close childhood friend (he was the best man at their wedding!). Vega Vitality started shortly thereafter. The practice's growth has been incredible to witness, and the patient response is amazing. Over the years, there has been much discussion about the possibility of bringing Vega Vitality to North Carolina. Stars finally aligned in 2023 as the decision was made to expand Vega geographically and philosophically. The newest location in Fenton will be Vega Vitality's first presence in North Carolina, bringing a new holistic approach to health and wellness.

Andy has maintained board certification in Internal Medicine since 2014. He is a Philadelphia native who completed his undergraduate training at Duke University before returning to Philly for medical school at Drexel University. He completed his Internal Medicine residency at the University of North Carolina (UNC) in 2014 and subsequently stayed on as clinical faculty, where he continues to practice. He was promoted to Associate Professor of Medicine in 2022. In addition to direct patient care, his responsibilities include leadership roles in clinical operations and patient access.

Andy's experience at a large academic institution like UNC gives him a broad perspective on patients' general condition. He is enthusiastic about Vega Vitality because it offers the opportunity to use the most novel medications and medical devices to restore a patient's energy, vigor, and confidence. With over a decade of patient care experience, Andy intends for Vega Wellness to be a thorough and supportive path to helping patients reach their goals.

Andy resides in Durham with his wife, sons Sam and Wes, and his dog, Jackson.

Practice Management

Linda joined the Vega Vitality family in 2018 as the Patient Relations Manager. As this was her first foray into medical aesthetics, the position was a great place to learn the ins and outs of the aesthetics field and the business. She also had the opportunity to meet many members of the Vega community and enjoyed getting to know all of Vega Vitality's patients. Even though her role was remote, patients frequently would ask to meet Linda in person when they arrived at Vega Vitality for their appointment as they had developed a report with her. To where the team would jokingly respond, "Linda is in the cloud." 

After many years of growing the business via patient relations and with her 25 years of experience in customer service, management, and workflow improvement, Linda was promoted to Vice President of Practice Management in 2023. She now splits her time between Boston's two practices - Vega Back Bay and Vega Seaport. She is the key point person for providing leadership updates on all practice-related matters, including people relations, reporting, and inventory. Linda strives to implement smooth workflows and policies to help make every patient's interaction and visit experience positive! She always looks forward to seeing our patients in person.

Linda holds a Certified Medical Administrative Assistant (CMAA) Certificate from the National Healthcareer Association.

Outside of Vega Vitality, Linda loves spending time with her family and friends, soaking in some sun by the ocean, and traveling. 

She resides in Beverly with her husband, two children Chris & Ava, and their dog, Lola.
