Make-up student Rebecca Kerr has had a year to remember
having won two medals – gold and silver – at the Association of Hairdressers
and Therapists (AHT) national finals in Blackpool at only 17-years-old.
And now top it off, Rebecca has collected the Chair’s Award
for Outstanding Achievement at the College’s annual Prize Giving ceremony held
at Granton Campus.
Rebecca decided to come to Edinburgh College to study
something she has a real passion for and along the way she has been able to
meeting amazing and inspiring people as well as take part in competitions
including AHT and WorldSkills, and to do make-up with professionals already
working in the industry. She said:
“I would have to say my biggest achievement in college was
going to the AHT hairdressing and beauty competitions in Blackpool,
representing Edinburgh College and winning first place in the Fantasy Hair and
Make-up and also silver in the Fantasy Make-up. It was such an
amazing weekend and a brilliant opportunity to meet other students and
professionals from the industry.”
