Profile
From a very young age I had a natural flare and talent in beauty. This lead to me studying Beauty Therapy Level 2 and 3. While studying at college, I also completed a diploma in fashion and photographic make up. I left college in 1998 with an award for student of the Year runner up. After completing my qualification, I went on to open my own business with support from The Princes Trust. I ran a successful beauty salon for many years before embarking on a career in teaching. I have since qualified in Hairdressing and Theatrical Hair and Media Make –up.
I started teaching at UCB in 2004 and have never looked back. I have taught across all aspects of the curriculum at all levels and have been a programme manager for the Beauty Therapy courses. In my current role as Senior Curriculum Leader, I am now involved in the planning, structure and design of our programmes ensuring innovative delivery and quality assurance. I work closely alongside my colleagues to ensure excellent standards are maintained and students are fully supported professionally and personally
