I'm a NYS licensed Aesthetician & Aesthetics instructor my experience medical Aesthetics. I've gone above the training that an Aesthetician receives by doing a six month internship with a dermatologist so that I could learn more about skin. I also worked with a plastic surgeon and while there I had the opportunity to observe surgery. My job duties included educating the patients on pre and post-op care of their skin as well as what medications and/or supplements they must stop taking prior to surgery. I also am certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage and was trained by the Dr. Vodder School of Austria in North America. I attended the top school in the country to learn Permanent Make Up. I did one on one training with the owner of the school at the Huntington Academy of Permanent Make-up in Huntington, CA. I not only know how to do the procedures for chemical peels; all unbuffered, but I know the contraindications as well as the systemic affects. I've trained on several different IPL and Laser machines as well as microderm machines.
I strongly believe in taking the time to educate every client on the importance of good home care in order to achieve the desired result as well as using daily sunblock. I always write down directions for the products that they will be using, follow up with them in a few days if it was a non invasive procedure, and call them the next day as well as give them a number where they can reach me 24 hours a day in case they think there is something wrong. It's very hard for someone who's never had permanent make-up, a Jessner, or a TCA not to panic when they look in the mirror. I strongly believe in the use of strong risk management protocols. The average medical professional that doesn't have training in Aesthetics and Plastic Surgery could very easily misinterpret what they see as something wrong. I take before and after pictures at every visit and review their history for any changes since their prior visit.
One of the subjects I taught was business which I feel ties together with my selling skills. I graduated from the Krissler Institute and after that between 1993 and 2003 I turned a small one bay oil change shop into a tire warehouse with six operating bays and a waiting list. If you have strong sales skills then you can sell anything.
That allowed me to market my husband's trucking company and make $150,000 above the projected income in it's first year. If I can make it in the trucking world, there's nothing I can't do.
When my water broke and I was about to have my daughter my doctor told me to go to the hospital right away. Prior to going I made sure my trucks went out. The next part got me in the newspaper. I was in danger of losing my interest rate on our new home due to delays by the seller. I told the attorneys that either they came to the hospital or I would sign out AMA and go to the lawyer's office. They finally agreed to come. I couldn't have drugs and sign a contract so there were tears running down my face as I signed the papers. My contractions were one minute apart and the hospital a rule about no one being in the labor and delivery room but the support team. I insisted they were all my support team, my attorney, the seller's attorney, the bank attorney, the notary, my realtor, the seller's realtor, the sellers, my mom, my friend, and of course my husband. We finished the paperwork with about ten minutes to spare before I had complications. When released from the hospital I rested that day. The next morning I got up and did payroll and my daughter attended her first business meeting at 5 days old.
There is almost no one male or female with the amount of drive and commitment that I have. When I was two years old I started going to work with my father at his shoe stores in the tri-state region. I also went with him when he was buying. I believe that everything in life goes back to your sales including your ability to sell yourself. It's in my blood to sell.
At 17 I got my first "real" job working nights as a medical clerk while still in high school. I kept showing up requesting an interview even though they weren't hiring until I got an interview. I started with an entry level position and five years later was running the department at night.
Although I realize that not all of this is directly relevant to my career history, it is directly relevant to my ambition and character.
