I have recently graduated in level 3 hairdressing with a Distinction and have a particular passion for artistic hair design. During 2021 I have keenly entered numerous hairdressing competitions and hold the title for Concept Hair Magazine Learner of the Year Avant-garde 2021 as well as their June Learner of the Month.  I have also been selected as a finalist for World Skills UK hairdressing at their Grand Final at Loreal London in November 2021.  As well as being a winner and runner up in Prostylinguk hairstyling competitions.

My plans are to now set up as a Freelance hairdresser with a home based salon where I can provide bespoke cutting, colouring and styling services and build up a local clientele. Being self employed will allow me the freedom to pursue a career in creative styling and editorial work for media, theatre and photo shoots.

I'm a mature student having a huge career change and feel just as excited and passionate about the future as if I were a 20 year old.  "It's never too late to follow your dreams! "

My previous career involved PR and marketing and I have a BAHons Degree (2:1) in Public Relations and Media Studies as well as an advanced GNVQ in Media Studies (Distinction) 

I now look forward to a creative career in hairdressing!
