Periodically, we like to introduce you to a member of our staff whose hard work is so integral to the outsanding products and service The Kingswood Company offers.

This month, meet Kathleen George, one of our outstanding Account Executives. Kathleen, a graduate of Miami University with a degree in biochemistry, has been with Kingswood for close to two years.

What do you love about your job?

The reason I like working in sales is that I love to help people and interact with them. At The Kingswood Company, I get to help customers determine which products would work best for their store. Together we create a really branded, stylized line that helps them with marketing and their bottom line. I really enjoy working with a variety of customers on lots of different types of projects!

You were a biochemistry major in college. How have you been able to put that knowledge to use in your job?

Being a biochemistry major, I obviously took a lot basic chemistry classes (not only biochemistry), which definitely gives me a deeper understanding of the chemistry that goes into our products. I feel like I can help my customers when they have questions about our formulas.

I also have gotten to help with product development, which has been fun. We launched our Jewelry Care Wipes at the Vegas shows this year, and I was excited to work on the formulation and quality control of that project.

What do you like to do in your free time?

I love my reality TV – especially the Bachelorette! I have always loved watching it, but since I have been working at Kingswood, I am so much more aware of the beautiful jewelry they wear. I love to look at the jewelry on Instagram. Make-up is also a passion of mine, and I enjoy teaching classes and doing wedding make-up for brides. This also allows me to travel around Ohio and nearby states, which is fun. And I love checking out restaurants in Columbus, which is such a great food city. There are always new places to try, and it’s a great way to explore the city a bit. My new favorite is Arch City Tavern, which has the best burgers.

What is the last good movie you saw?

I don’t really see a lot of movies; I really prefer reality TV. La La Land was good, and so was Passengers.

Kathleen’s favorite customization option is the Luxury Jewelry Cleaner Jar.

“I love how they give each formula a cosmetic, upscale look!”
