Biography

Mimi’s journey in health and wellness has been anything but conventional. A San Diego native, she began her career in pharmaceutical sales, specializing in dermatology, where she gained valuable insights into skincare and longevity. This sparked her curiosity about optimizing health from the inside out.

Her adventurous spirit led her to the CBD industry in its early days, when cannabis was still widely misunderstood. Mimi immersed herself in all aspects of the field, from cultivation to distribution, driven by a belief in the plant’s medicinal potential. Around this time, she noticed a growing interest in peptides and their synthetic versions to enhance performance and well-being, prompting her to dive deeper into the science of natural peptides.

Today, Mimi is focused on her venture with MAKE Wellness, a company dedicated to promoting wellness and creating opportunities through bioactive precision peptides derived from nature.  As a single mom to two sons, now 17 and 18, Mimi has reignited her passion for health and wellness. For her, it’s not just about appearance, it’s about unlocking the body’s full potential from within.
