My Name is Victoria Espinoza. I am the Financial Aid Adviser at ABT. I have been in the Beauty Industry for over 20 years. I have been a Licensed Instructor in Cosmetology and Manicuring. My family and I also had a beauty salon, I would work during the day and teach at night. I have also worked on the administrative side for 11 years. I greatly enjoy the Beauty Industry; I have grown around it all my life. My grandfather was a barber and my siblings, aunt, and cousins are all stylist. The love I feel for this industry now helps me when talking to the students for I have both the technical part and the administrative side too. I know this industry is great and how much potential it has to change peoples’ lives. “I feel the key to success is to never stop learning”, even people with many years in our industry continue to take an advanced course to stay on their game for this an industry that is constantly evolving and adding a new twist to old techniques. “Everything comes back with a twist”. It’s important to learn the basic to be able to achieve the greatest prize which is the “license”. Once that is achieved sky is the limit.
The work we have done over the last year was to suture the fractures that occurred from the last BLM protest,” said Ms Gueye, who became black lives matter the target of online racist abuse after last year’s event was met with opposition by some people in her hometown of Lydney.
