I have been part of Intercoiffure Australia, the Australian chapter of Intercoiffure Mondial, since 1996, and over the years I’ve had the privilege of serving as Western Australian State Fashion Director, Chairperson and as a member of the National Board.

My journey with Intercoiffure has always been driven by a belief in the power of creativity, education and connection. When I stepped into the role of National President, my goal was to help rebuild Intercoiffure Australia into the inspiring, connected and forward-thinking organisation that I remembered and valued so deeply.

One of my greatest passions is supporting the next generation of hairdressers. I want young professionals entering our industry to see the incredible opportunities that a career in hairdressing and involvement with Intercoiffure can bring — not only through creativity and professional growth, but through the friendships, experiences and global connections that become part of your journey.

For me, Intercoiffure represents creativity, education, opportunity and community.

I’m committed to building a strong future for Intercoiffure Australia and creating opportunities that inspire and support the next generation of Australian hairdressing talent.

I have been part of the Intercoiffure community for many years, and I have always believed in the power of our organisation to connect hairdressers across the world through creativity, education and friendship.

Throughout my journey with Intercoiffure Australia, I have had the privilege of serving in many leadership roles, including seven years as President of Intercoiffure Australia and six years as Oceania President. I currently serve as Secretary of Intercoiffure Australia, Secretary of Intercoiffure Western Australia and as an Education for Life Ambassador for Australia.

Internationally, I am honoured to serve on the Intercoiffure Mondial Board and as Chancellor of the Ordre de la Chevalerie, an international honours order within Intercoiffure Mondial recognising members who contribute to the advancement and reputation of our organisation.

I also serve on the Central Committee of Intercoiffure Mondial and as the Education for Life Ambassador for the Asia, Sri Lanka, India, South Africa and Australia regions.

Over the years, I have also contributed through roles including the Intercoiffure Mondial Working Committee and Sponsorship Committee, always with the goal of strengthening our global community and supporting the future of our industry.

Receiving the Grand Cross of the Ordre de la Chevalerie, the highest global honour awarded within Intercoiffure Mondial, is one of the great honours of my Intercoiffure journey. It recognises a longstanding commitment and contribution to the organisation and its international community.

For me, Intercoiffure has always represented more than hairdressing. It represents friendship, education, opportunity and the incredible connections that happen when passionate people from around the world come together.

I remain committed to supporting the growth of Intercoiffure Australia, inspiring future generations and continuing to build the global connections that make our organisation so special.

I have been proudly involved with Intercoiffure for more than 30 years, beginning my journey with Intercoiffure Western Australia and continuing to contribute to the organisation at both state and national levels.

Throughout my time with Intercoiffure Western Australia, I have had the privilege of serving in a number of roles, including Chairperson on two occasions and State Treasurer. Nationally, I have served as a Director on three occasions and now have the honour of serving as National Treasurer for Intercoiffure Australia.

To me, Intercoiffure represents family, knowledge, passion and professionalism. Being part of a worldwide organisation makes that connection even more special — wherever you travel, if there is an Intercoiffure salon, you have a friend.

After more than three decades, I am still proud to be part of this incredible community and to continue supporting the future of Intercoiffure Australia.

I have been part of Intercoiffure for the past two decades, and throughout that time I have seen the incredible opportunities our organisation can create for both established professionals and the next generation of hairdressers.

I am proud to serve as a Global Board Member for Fondation Guillaume, where our focus is on supporting and mentoring young people within the Intercoiffure community and helping them discover the possibilities a creative career in hairdressing can offer.

For me, mentoring the next generation is about more than developing technical and creative skills. It is about providing encouragement, guidance and opportunities, helping young hairdressers build confidence in their abilities and supporting them as they develop their own creative career path.

Through Fondation Guillaume and Intercoiffure, I am committed to helping emerging talent connect with our industry, learn from experienced professionals and see just how many possibilities a career in hairdressing can provide.

I’m proud to have been part of Intercoiffure for 20 years and to continue contributing to an organisation that invests in the creativity, development and future of our industry.

I am passionate about creativity, education and the ever-evolving relationship between hair, fashion and artistic expression.

Through my involvement with Intercoiffure Australia, I have had the opportunity to collaborate with talented hairdressers and creatives from around the world, sharing ideas, exploring new perspectives and contributing to the continued evolution of our industry.

As National Fashion Director for Intercoiffure Australia, I am committed to supporting creative excellence, contributing to fashion-focused events and helping showcase the incredible talent within our Australian hairdressing community.

For me, Intercoiffure represents a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded creatives, continue learning from some of the best talent in our industry and inspire the next generation of hairdressers.

I look forward to continuing to contribute to the creative future of Intercoiffure Australia and helping bring new ideas, inspiration and opportunities to our members.
