Hibiscus Moon
Are you passionate about making people happy and providing customers with the best experience?
Do you want to join a team of heart centric A-Players who are working on growing a leading online academy within the crystal and healing community? If you have a positive, friendly, and warm personality, are able to engage people in an empathetic, yet firm and fair way, are organized (to a fault), self-motivated, and can meet a deadline without batting an eyelash, this may be the best day of your life.
