Head of Department

I love my role as a hairdresser teacher and have trained, assessed, and taught students throughout my career. I feel very privileged to teach at the Kingsmead Training salon and get enormous satisfaction from watching the students develop the skills they will need to become successful hair stylists in the future.

Beauty therapy is an exciting and rewarding career and I feel very grateful to be able to share my knowledge and experience of the beauty industry with my students. I am passionate about being a teacher, being able to share in my students learning and hopefully make a positive impact in their lives is a privilege.
