Summary

A highly motivated hardworking well presented bubbly and pleasant individual with a professional manner at all times.

I am well-organised, reliable and well presented with excellent inter-personnel skills.

I enjoy new challenges and have a keen eye for detail. I learn new tasks quickly and I can adapt to different work practices seamlessly when required.

After graduating in Nursing and fulfilling all my aesthetics practitioner qualifications, I now long to grow and establish myself fully within the aesthetics industry.

After graduating in nursing and completing all of my aesthetics practitioner certifications, I am now eager to advance and fully establish myself in the aesthetics sector.
I have worked tirelessly to obtain the necessary qualifications, constantly learning and establishing extensive knowledge in the aesthetics field. In addition to being a mother, I have dedicated and stuck to my passion in aesthetics, and I believe I am truly at my best when working in this field because I believe my dedication and determination to constantly better myself makes me a great asset and ambassador to any company I work for.
I am certain that patient safety is and must always be number one in our sector, and I will not hesitate to say no to patients' requests when I feel necessary.

I have a diverse skill set that I can and will continue to develop and expand in order to meet the needs of my patients, as seen by my current aesthetics role and background.
