Summary
Friendly and hardworking. I have years long experience working with people and animals. I've been working as a licensed esthetician for over 10 years. Most recently being a Co/Owner of a small spa in Indiana. I've learned knowledge of skin conditions and effective treatments. Excellent sales, customer service and communication skills to build relationships and maintain loyal business. Before becoming a licensed esthetician I worked as a certified Dog trainer, training guide dogs for the blind. Im a hands on person who loves working with people and animals. I hope to take all the skills I've learned so far and continue to use them going forward.
