Jodie Stevenson – Beauty Therapy Trainer and Industry Assessor
In between caring for her family and working in the beauty therapy industry, Jodie discovered a passion for teaching and learning.
Jodie has worked as a HITO Industry Assessor since 2019, as a way for her to contribute to the future of her industry by sharing her knowledge and passion with future beauty professionals.
“I’m hugely passionate about upholding a high standard of knowledge in our industry,” says Jodie. “Treatments are changing and becoming more advanced, and beauty professionals need a solid base of knowledge to build on.”
Jodie also currently employs three beauty therapy apprentices at her beauty clinic in Kawerau, who she says are an amazing asset to her business. Her love of teaching makes training apprentices a rewarding part of her job.
“I wanted to share the opportunity to locals in my community, who otherwise wouldn’t have been able to study. All three of my apprentices are mothers, so being able to study while earning is a huge draw card for them.”
