Many years ago I completed an 8,000 hour apprenticeship in hairdressing, after which I went onto study Trichology, Advanced Coloring and gained my New Zealand Trades Certificate.
I have served on the New Zealand Apprenticeship Committee, entered many hairdressing competitions and became an examiner for the New Zealand Hairdressing Trades certificate.
For the past 25 years I have been part of the Education sector both at Lynmore School and Toi Ohomai Institute of Technology. It is a privilege and a pleasure to be part of students’ success in achieving their goals. I am the very proud mother of two beautiful humans and a Grammy to two little people.

What our students are saying
"Service skills helped me gain more confidence, knowledge in customer service skills and experience in a salon. Before I started this course I wasn't going that well with my work in school but since I joined i've had heaps of help and now have completed my level 2 retail/salon skills in just 2 terms which I'm very happy about and thankful for my tutors for helping me get to where I am now. Love this course always just happy vibes here"
