Help Nicole vie for a medal under the floristry skill category at the WorldSkills International Competition in Abu Dhabi.
Auckland
My name is Nicole Keeber. I'm 20 years old. I'm from a little town called Whakatane. I completed Year 13 at Whakatane High School in 2014.
During High School, I attended a Gateway program and completed different work experience placements. This was where I fell in love with floristry and wanted to begin my career ever since!
I recently moved to Auckland to complete my New Zealand certificate and become qualified as a senior florist through M.I.T., and now starting my first full time job as a florist.
It would be absolutely amazing to go to the WorldSkills International Competition in Abu Dubai to represent New Zealand and compete in the floristry skill category. I think its a pretty special opportunity and wouldn't miss it for the world!
All support would be greatly appreciated.
