How did you get into the industry?
In year 10, I started
working in a salon every Saturday morning. Began by making tea and coffee,
sweeping floors and cleaning. Over a period of time I became involved in the
salon work. The interest for hairdressing grew, so I decided to pursue an
apprenticeship.
Would you recommend a trade/skill based career to
others?
Yes, hairdressing is a great trade to be involved with. You
are constantly meeting new people and learning with every day and every
client.
How has WorldSkills Australia helped you so far personally &
professionally?
WorldSkills Australia has helped my confidence which
reflects in my work. It has furthered my skills as a hairdresser and has pushed
me to want to be the best person and hairdresser I can be.
Would you recommend others participate in the WorldSkills
Competitions?
Yes, definitely! WSA provides you the opportunity to
represent your region, state and potentially your country in your chosen trade.
There are many great and supportive people who will assist you in realising your
full potential.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
I enjoy the client
interaction, especially when a new client is unsure of what they want and you
provide a consultation by the end of the service they are happy with the new
style. Even if it's a small change, it could be a big step for them.
What do you hope to achieve in both short and long terms of your
career?
In the short term, I want to travel overseas, furthering my
skills along the way. In the long term, I want to become more involved with WSA,
mentoring up and coming competitors and promoting the hairdressing trade.
Eventually I want to own my own salon and become an educator.
