Welcome to another episode of “Dream Job with Danielle Cobo”!

Today, I am blessed to be joined by Alisha Merlo.

Alisha Rose Merlo has dedicated over 20 years of her professional life to the medical aesthetic space. Her true passions lie in helping practices deliver next-level patient experiences, optimizing operational efficiencies and boosting treatment and product sales. Working for leading organizations such as Obagi Medical Products and Medicis Aesthetics, where she spent 10 years of her career, she has been an award-winning sales professional and well-respected practice consultant. Alisha is often asked to share her expertise on podium at medical conferences and has been a contributing author in publications such as MedEsthetics Magazine, The Dermatologist, Executive Decisions in Dermatology and Plastic Surgery Practice.

Alisha is currently the Executive Director of Professional Relations for Colorescience® where she contributes to sales, marketing, training, business development, clinical studies, and key opinion leader and society relationships. She considers it the perfect blend of her experience and what fills her professional tank. Her recent passion project has led her to chair the North County San Diego Stop Traffic Walk and take on the role of Associate Director for the Coastline Dream Center Human Trafficking Prevention and Restoration program.

“We get hung up on doing everything so perfectly and that's just not the way life is" – Alisha Merlo
