I have recently completed studying Level 3 in Beauty Therapy at North Lindsey
College. After working for my previous employer for 10 years as a Secretary and going on
to have 2 children I decided that it was time for me to return to learn as I enjoy learning and
new challenges and looking forward to starting a new career in the Beauty industry. I would
describe myself as friendly, confident and a team player, I think I am well organised, self-
motivated and a good time keeper. I have excellent administration skills and have
experience of sales. I am a good communicator and confident to speak to clients and give
presentations.
During my time at college I achieved 100% attendance which I am very proud of. I have 2
children under the age of 3 and I worked hard to keep up my attendance, pass all my exams
1st time and gain a good client base at college, with many clients requesting me for
treatments. I have a passion for beauty therapy and enjoy making clients feel special. I
entered 2 make-up competitions during my time at college. My career goal as well as
practicing Beauty Therapy is to become a Beauty Therapy trainer/Lecturer.
