amanda foxon-hill’s Summary

I have worked since 1998 in the cosmetics industry both in Europe and Australasia. As a chemist I have experience in formulating and developing a wide range of products as well as experience in sales and marketing within this market.

I am passionate about green chemisry and am an advocate of conscious consumerism. These issues drive me in my business "Selling Science" which is focused on communicating scientific idea's and principles through supply chains.

I have also been involved in presenting and teaching various aspects of science to children aged between 3-12 via my work with Fizzics Education.

My goal is to become a respected expert in the field of environmentally responsible cosmetics. Working towards this goal is seeing me branch out into areas such as global politics, economics, business management, consumer behavior and environmental science. All very interesting.....
