When they announced the members of Team Canada heading to WorldSkills Shanghai 2026, I literally jumped out of my chair\u2014I couldn\u2019t believe it! I was over the moon for her. <\/p>\n<p>As a Hairdressing teacher, I thrive on creating a dynamic, inspiring environment where my students can grow and shine. They inspire me every day, and I love seeing their creativity take shape. My mission is simple: to give them every tool, skill, and the confidence they need to succeed as professional hairdressers. And nothing makes me prouder than staying in touch with my former students and watching them flourish in their careers. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Training Champions  <\/strong><br \/>\nI\u2019ve been training my competitor since September, and from day one my approach has been simple: start with the knowledge she already has, then build on it\u2014refining, improving, and sometimes simplifying the task at hand. At the WorldSkills Competition, success isn\u2019t just about hard work; it\u2019s about training smart. It\u2019s about finding balance, thinking strategically, and staying aware of every move you make. Above all, I want her to put into practice everything she\u2019s learned, while managing her stress with confidence. I have no doubt this journey will be a truly wonderful and unforgettable experience for her. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Why I Love Volunteering <\/strong><br \/>\nVolunteering as a Trainer is an incredible opportunity to grow\u2014both in skill and in perspective. I thrive on exchanging ideas with other Trainers, and every conversation leaves me inspired and energized. For me, it\u2019s about constantly learning, expanding my knowledge, and soaking up every bit of insight I can. I want to learn it all, know it all, and use it to become the best Trainer I can be! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Skills Background I first got involved in Skills competitions in 2021, and this year at SCNC Regina 2025, my competitor brought home the silver medal at the post-secondary level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":112164,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"class_list":["post-112163","bio","type-bio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","bio-type-trainer"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
