Faces of CTE: Jaslyn Contreras
Jaslyn Contreras
Jaslyn is a Senior at Grant High School, enrolled in the Tech Campus Cosmetology program. Ms. Contreras is in the second year of the program, with plans to record 1,500 hours of experience and earn her Cosmetology license in the state of Illinois.
“I have a strong passion for Cosmetology,” Jaslyn said. “My mom actually went to Tech Campus as well in the same program, and growing up she would always say how good the opportunity was so I wanted to follow in her footsteps.”
After Jaslyn graduates and earns her license, she plans to start working at a salon and is deciding between a few of them that she has a connection with through Tech Campus.
“I have gone to a couple of salons and shadowed and I felt confident because we do the same skills here,” Jaslyn said. “It makes me so happy that we have the hands-on experience here at Tech.”
Jaslyn’s teacher, Ms. Latanya Robinson, has extensive experience working in salons and has brought that expertise into the classroom.
“I have so much fun in Cosmetology, and everybody has their own career path here, and everything just helps to prepare you for what you are going for after high school,” Jaslyn said. “I love coming to Tech.”
