Level 3 Media Makeup student, Piper, is progressing on to the WorldSkills Regional Qualifier Heats for SFX makeup🎉

When asked how she felt about the competition, she said, "It's nice to know what I do has been noticed, but it's a bit scary at the same time. I used to practice SFX makeup at home before I started college because it looked fun on social media. It's good to learn new things here. I want to do bridal, prom or special effects in the future."

Stay relevant. Stay progressing.
