NICOLE VAN DER LINDEN
Bryanston
Summary
Advanced somatologist with 14 years experience within the medical aesthetics & surgical disciplines. I have an advanced understanding of skin, anatomy and physiology as well as practical experience with a vast number of plastic surgical procedures, lasers, medical devices and medical grade products. I thrive in a multifaceted environment. Having had the experience of working with doctors and the consumer market I believe my experience and expertise would suit the job requirements. I have a strong personality and become fluent in most new learning curves. Adaptable, detail oriented and highly efficient with research and development. I'm advanced in MS excel, PowerPoint and word.
