PERSONAL LIFE
Hailing from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, with majestic mountains and scenic islands, it is no wonder that Dr. Tarina loves tuning herself into nature’s offerings. Her favorites include tennis, aerial hammock practice, hiking, and paddle boarding.
Dr. Tarina is also a skincare enthusiast with a keen eye for detail that has blossomed into a special interest in skin health and dermatology.
On a quieter front, Dr Tarina enjoys reading and the movies. A particular novel she repeatedly reads and draws inspiration from is “Every Sunset Brings the Promise of a New Dawn,” written by the famous philosopher/poet Ralph Waldo Emerson.
The romantic drama movie, “Eat. Pray & Love,” starring Julia Roberts, seems to melt her heart each time she rewatches it.
PERSONAL INTERESTS
When asked what makes her fulfilled, Dr. Tarina replied:
“While recognising beauty in every face, I seek to work with my patients to achieve a beautiful and realistic outcome. My goal is to make them feel confident by being happy with their appearance and more comfortable in their own skin.
Being fulfilled means seeing my patient’s face brim with joy stepping out of the door. One of my aspirations is to find a more non-invasive treatment for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating).
For this reason, she takes great pleasure, pain and pride in her profession.
Dr. Tarina is fluent in both English and Malay.
