RISING STAR<br />
WHY DID YOU<br />
WANT TO BE A<br />
HAIRDRESSER?<br />
I tried<br />
working behind<br />
a desk but I found<br />
it soul destroying.<br />
I realised pretty<br />
quickly that if<br />
I pursued a<br />
creative career,<br />
I could do<br />
something I love<br />
and make a living.<br />

WHAT HAVE BEEN YOUR HIGHLIGHTS SO FAR?<br />
2017 was a career highlight for me!<br />
Getting the chance to be mentored<br />
by Mark Leeson, winning Gold in the<br />
New Talent category for the Stylists’<br />
Favourite award at Goldwell Global Zoom in<br />
Barcelona, then being recognised locally as<br />
Colour Technician of the Year at the JP South<br />
Hair and Beauty Awards in Brighton. I also<br />
had the opportunity to appear on stage with my<br />
boss, Tony Wood, and Beverly C for Goldwell,<br />
that was definitely a highlight! I’m also grateful<br />
to be involved in Lee Stafford<br />
Education, training to be<br />
an educator to pass on a<br />
high standard of NVQlevel<br />
teaching, and<br />
assisting in training<br />
college lecturers.<br />
WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN 10 YEARS?<br />
I will endeavour to go from strength to<br />
strength! In an ideal world, I would love to<br />
be producing more session work and even<br />
art directing and eventually leading my<br />
own creative team.<br />
WHAT WOULD BE YOUR DREAM HAIRDRESSING GIG?<br />
My all-time inspiration is Alexander<br />
McQueen – to work for his legacy, on shoots<br />
or shows, would be incredible.
