Summary

At the age of 41 while I was still working as Cabin crew I decided I wanted to learn a trade .

I went to college and had the most amazing few years learning new skills ..

After a few years of really working hard to achieve what I wanted, I started to teach others ..

I think my most proud achievement is when I started teaching all the new techniques that I self taught myself to others .

My college trainer asked me to come to her salon to demonstrate my skills to both her and her staff ..

I also started the first Facebook education page for Uk and Ireland offering free hair education over 10 years ago .

It now has over 6 thousand members and still going strong .
