What is my role in the academy?

Aesthetic Trainer

How long have you been in the industry?

Quite new to the industry overall, although I have always been very interested and keen on aesthetics

Why do you like teaching?

Teaching is one of the most demanding and challenging jobs there is, as it requires an immense amount of patience and perseverance, however it is also the most rewarding one. Teaching for me is about giving, transforming people’s lives and also influencing them in a positive way with guidance and support. It allows me to establish connections with people that last forever. It is truly incredible being part of the student's journey and helping them every step of the way. With that being said, teaching is not just a job, it’s a way of life.

What are your favourite treatments?

I love facials, but they just simply can’t compare with injectables. My favourite treatments are botox and fillers. Injecting is just pure excitement! 

What is your favourite course to teach?

Although injectables are my main interest, my favourite course to teach is the Level 5 Diploma in Aesthetics as it is taught across 3 weeks and it really gives me the chance to see the progression and changes of the students throughout the course. From day one, students coming in completely new to the industry, to flourishing and realising their own potential by the end of the course, ready to take up any challenge that the world has for them. It is genuinely inspiring.
