Summary

I trained in the UK straight after leaving school and have worked in Beauty therapy ever since having owned two businesses, one in the UK and one here. Euphoria has been my whole world for quite a number of years, I have employed staff, taken on girls from college to do placements and more recently been on my own. I have worked over the years with many different products inc Sothy's, Guinot, Clarins, Ultraceuticals and at the present Environ. My ability to relate to most people and listen to their needs I would say is my greatest strength. I am hardworking bringing 20+ years of experience and readiness to take on new role. Enthusiastic to learn new skills and training, eager to contribute to a team through hard work, attention to detail and excellent organizational skills. Motivated to learn.
