The main role I took on as Executive Assistant to the CEO, a native-Russian, was assisting her with putting her vision into proper, polished English. I was heavily involved with the process of creating each email-blast, product catalog, treatment protocol, product label, and social media post, and eventually I was regularly working on creative and promotional projects without supervision. I also handled all of the organizational details and accompanied her when traveling the country to train our retailers, as well as industry related conferences and trade shows.• Trained licensed estheticians on advanced skin care treatments. I held hands-on training sessions on products, protocols, and spa equipment.
