Student Spotlight – Felicity Simmonds
Felicity Simmonds talks about her passion for beauty therapy.
Felicity Simmonds’ passion for beauty therapy began at home – but with the help of GOTAFE, it has grown into a career pathway.
“I always did my own beauty therapy at home with friends and family,” she said.
“Pursuing a career in beauty therapy felt like the right decision.”
With a little encouragement, Felicity enrolled into a Certificate IV in Beauty Therapy (SHB40121) at GOTAFE.
While getting to know people with similar interests has been a highlight of her time studying at GOTAFE, Felicity has also enjoyed gaining valuable skills to help her in her job at Velt Beauty in Albury.

"I love getting to do something I am really good at every day. Doing something I enjoy means it doesn’t feel like work."
