Fabiola Wilson isn’t from the Wiregrass, and she wasn’t always an esthetician, but she found her home and a second career in beautiful Eufaula. When the military stationed her family at Ft. Benning, they chose Eufaula as the place they wanted to retire. “We wanted to find a family-friendly community to raise our son,” she said. “We loved Eufaula and the surrounding area.” Looking for a way to repurpose her medical background and training as a combat medic and orthopedic specialist into a calling that provided comfort and made people feel better, Fabiola decided to open the Spa at Lake Eufaula to support the needs of the community better—and enroll in Wallace’s Esthetician program.
“I had heard great things about the instructors and their backgrounds and passion for the program from former students,” said Fabiola. “How highly they spoke of the program and instructors was the best advertisement for the program and for Wallace.” Fabiola opened Spa at Lake Eufaula in 2021, completed Wallace’s Esthetician program in 2022, and is fully licensed. Fabiola will walk the stage during Wallace’s commencement ceremonies this spring.
