Larra Hunt, NP-C
NURse injector
I am Allure’s newest provider and a Nurse Practitioner. Born in Fayetteville, NC and raised in the small town of Parkton, I call this area home. I earned my undergraduate degree at the University of Pembroke where I met my husband, Jordan. After working as an ER nurse for a brief period, I moved to Miami, FL where I obtained a Master’s of Science in Nursing at the University of Miami. I have been a Nurse Practitioner since 2017 and obtained four years of experience performing minimally invasive procedures with the Interventional Radiology specialty. I have since transferred my love for procedures into aesthetics. In my free time I love to travel with my husband, go to the gym and spend time outdoors in the sunshine. Jordan and I are excited to welcome our first child into the world in March 2022.
