@elizabethvader
Business manager and entrepreneur blending customer service, marketing, and esthetics.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated, energetic business manager and entrepreneur who loves building customer-focused operations. As a business owner, I’ve handled designing new products, marketing, photography, packaging, customer support, supply ordering, inventory, and financial management—always focused on making the business run smoothly and professionally.
I also bring hands-on service expertise from my licensed esthetics and makeup background, including client services and hygienic standards, plus product education. Across clinic and retail roles, I developed strong skills in HIPPA-compliant patient care, scheduling, cash handling, loss prevention, payroll, hiring/training, visual merchandising, and business analysis—earning recognition like being promoted from a supervised role into an unsupervised role and helping introduce patient care standards.
