After 25 years as a hairdresser, I made a bold career change in 2009, becoming a certified nail technician—and it’s been the best decision of my life. What started as a teenage hobby doing my own nails at 17 has evolved into a lifelong passion for creativity, education, and inspiring others.

Throughout my journey, I’ve worked in salons, delivered nationally recognised nail training, and stepped onto the competition stage—earning accolades such as Champion of Champions at Nailympia Sydney. My love for competing eventually took me to London and opened the door to judging. I am a trained INJA judge and love to help others onto the competition floor.

In 2018, I became the official distributor for Brillbird Luxury Nail Products in Australia and New Zealand. The following year, I proudly earned my Brillbird International Master Educator certification. Backed by a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment, I now not only teach students but also mentor and develop the next generation of nail educators.
