Profile

 

Natalie has always been interested in nature, and in particular, flowers. She enjoys using her natural creativity to style and shape flowers that are pleasing to the eye:

"I have my mother and grandfather to thank for my love of floristry. My mother passed down her passion for flowers to me, and when I was younger my grandad would send me hand-picked flowers as presents."

In preparation for WorldSkills, Natalie will be learning new floristry techniques by training with renowned floral designers Daniel Ost and Moniek Vanden Berghe. She will also be working with her training manager to complete a carefully designed training programme.

In her spare time Natalie's interests include ballroom and salsa dancing, and listening to music.
