Siobhan Kelly

I have been working in the Beauty industry for nearly 20 years now! My journey began in Senior College Dun Laoghaire where I qualified as a Beauty Therapist with CIDESCO, followed by a diploma in Theatrical, Media and Fashion Make Up Artistry. As I have a creative and artistic flare I initially wanted to work as a Make Up Artist and concentrate my energies in that area but that all changed once I started working with Yon-Ka skincare in a Salon I worked in in my early 20’s. I loved everything about the brand and my passion for skincare really became apparent at this early stage in my career. After 8 year working in some beautiful Salons I wanted a change in my career path. Teaching was something I aspired to do at a young age so with a teaching qualification under my belt my key focus was to become a brand Trainer, at the time I couldn’t think of any other job I would love to do more!! I was lucky to start the next chapter by landing my dream job as a Trainer with Renaissance Products, distributors of Yon-Ka, Image skincare in Ireland, followed by a training and Sales Representative role with Anne McDevitt Ltd, distributors of Eminence Organic Skincare. While working with these companies I gained a wealth of knowledge and experience which I am very grateful for. With that being said the last 12 years has lead me to today where I am currently employed with AlumierMD as the Clinical Educator for Ireland.

We have some exciting new training modules coming this year. We have seen such a high demand for education that this year we have expanded and teamed up with Cosmed Aesthetic Training Academy in Dublin, Coco College of Beauty Therapy in Cork and Younique Aesthetic Training Academy in Belfast to facilitate our training courses. The knowledge we impart on our delegates who come training is second to none. On our introductory training the delegates not only leave with knowledge on our exceptional medical grade skincare brand but also with a knowledge on cosmetic dermatology, anatomy and physiology and knowledge on the major skin conditions that they are presented with on a daily basis. CAREER CHAT with Clinical Educator of the Year Siobhan Kelly WITH

Before I even went for the interview with AlumierMD I carried out some research as I wanted to see if this was a brand that would engage my interest and I would believe in. After checking out the website I was really impressed by the science, technology and the level of activity of the medical grade ingredients used throughout the brand. I was amazed at the Clinical outcomes and I certainly was inspired to know more. As an Educator it is so important to believe in the brand you work with as first impressions do count, you essentially will start to mould the delegate belief in the brand. We currently have approximately 180 Clinics here in Ireland and it is continuing to grow at a very fast rate and as a result my role is very busy and no two days are the I was lucky to start the next chapter by landing my dream job as a Trainer with Renaissance Products, distributors of Yon-Ka, Image skincare in Ireland, followed by a training and Sales Representative role with Anne McDevitt Ltd, distributors of Eminence Organic Skincare.

We have approximately 180 Clinics here in Ireland and it is continuing to grow at a very fast rate and as a result my role is very busy and no two days are the same! I spend time travelling the country but I also spend time in the UK to meet with my education team as we are

The weeks I’m not training I’m carrying out visits to our clinics to continue their educational journey and to insure they are maintaining the motivation, knowledge and passion I have imparted on them while attending training with me. Our clinics and their patients alike are blown away with the results of our peels and products, as a result the patients see the value in investing in their skin.

Our clinics are wonderful, I love working with them as they all share the same end goal as me which is, making their patients confident and happy in their skin while using the most sophisticated, results driven products. It genuinely makes me so proud to see the clinics flourish and grow with AlumierMD and I am so happy to be able to support them all along the way.

I recently won the award for Clinical Educator of the year with AlumeirMD. It was a very proud moment for me. Self belief, hard work, focus and love for what I do got me to this point. It just shows if you really want something and you put your mind to it you can achieve anything. Credit is also due to my very supportive education team leaders who have brought out the best in me since my time starting with the company last year.

I really feel I have found my niche with AlumierMD, my role is challenging and rewarding in equal amounts and right now I couldnt be happier in my role as Clinical Educator for AlumierMD here in Ireland. I am very excited to see what the future holds.
