Chicago, IL (PRWEB) October 09, 2014 -- The American Med Spa Association (AmSpa) welcomes Cathy Christensen, former editor of Skin Inc. magazine and conference director for the Face & Body events, to its team as Executive Director of Operations and Communications.
Christensen began her career at Global Cosmetic Industry (GCI) magazine before transitioning to Skin Inc. There, she climbed the ladder from assistant editor/Web editor to editor of the brand, overseeing its strategy and planning, as well as its stable of products, from digital and print magazines, to e-newsletters, websites and the Face & Body Advanced Education Conference Programs. She also was on the founding team of Merge magazine, which catered to the medical spa market. Christensen has organized and developed the conference program at Face & Body Midwest in Chicago and Face & Body Northern California in San Jose, California, since 2012.
