Crystal Healing
Certificate earned from ALISON.com
Crystal healing is a pseudoscientific alternative medicine practice that uses crystals and semiprecious stones, such as quartz, agate, amethyst, or opal, to claim healing powers. Crystals vibrate at the same pitch as humans and can help people feel more at ease and connect better when placed on the body. Balancing crystals can help match misaligned energy levels.

Soon after, I was introduced to recruiting and quickly developed a passion for helping others start their own Avon businesses.
Through mentorship from top Avon leaders like Lisa Wilber and Molly Stone-Bibb, I gained valuable leadership and entrepreneurial skills. I learned how to coach and lead a growing team, taking my team from 5 members to 35 and beyond. I studied leadership development, business strategy, and sales techniques—both in-person and online.
In addition to leadership, I mastered social media marketing, SEO (Search Engine Optimization), and
other digital marketing strategies to grow my customer base and expand my reach. My experience
with Avon has not only strengthened my sales and recruiting skills but has also helped me grow into a
confident leader, passionate about empowering others to succeed.

Through these tasks, I played an integral part in showcasing the center's mission and the accomplishments of its students in a compelling and meaningful way.
