My name is Aleya Smith and I am a Medical Assistant RAYNE Aesthetics. I have always been a lover of aesthetics and I firmly believe that beauty starts from within and comes in all forms.

From there, I craved a connection between skin health and also beauty. I then discovered RAYNE Aesthetics and so my new journey began! In my personal time, I love working with the youth at my church, making floral arrangements, shopping and spending time with my family. It is my hope to always provide compassionate personal care and to make everyone feel like their best self.

After Highschool, I went to Georgia Military College for a degree in Early Childhood Education and Psychology. Soon before I graduated I realized that field no longer was the the field I was passionate about due to many reasons but especially because i was finally able to watch my sister’s ability to make others feel beautiful through hair and makeup, I knew I wanted to be in a field focused on beauty and wellness.
When I’m not at work, you’ll find me at Oxygen Fitness, shopping, or spending quality time with my family, friends, and my boyfriend. I am thrilled to be a part of the team at RAYNĒ , and I look forward to becoming more knowledgeable and advanced on all things RAYNĒ has to offer, and building relationships with both the staff and every patient who walks through our doors.

I love to make everyone feel comfortable and confident. I bring my bedside manner to the injection chair and want all of our clients to feel like a close friend. I love to get to know people and create connections.
