GROVEDALE hairdressing whirlwind Hayley Parker has added another strand to her impressive achievements.
Featured in the latest edition of Geelong Coast magazine, Hayley has won a place as a finalist in the Victorian Apprentice of the Year awards.
The accolade adds to her recent to-do list of preparing for a world skills competition in Brazil next month, flying to China on a skills exchange program, training with the Australian Skills Squad and competing in the inaugural WorldSkills Oceania competition in New Zealand.
She even found time to join a Gordon TAFE study tour to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur for 10 days and took out the award as the Gordon’s top apprentice.
“I’ve been so lucky. I eventually found my niche and it seems like it all happens for a reason,” Hayley reflects.
“I’ve got all these achievements and certificates that often take people years to accumulate and I’ve done it in two and half a years.”
Read about Hayley’s full story in the winter edition of GC, the region’s premier glossy lifestyle magazine full of local people, places and activities. GC with Nicky Buckley on the cover is out now at all good local newsagents.
