WHO WE HELP THE MENTORS JOIN THE WAVE

Aranka Rianne Knol

NETHERLANDS

Salon Manager at Brain Wash salon.
2012 Mentor in Belem (Brazil).

Aranka is the youngest Making Waves mentor so far, but with her traineeship under her belt she had great skills to pass on to the teens.
"Being the closest in age to the students, I was really able to relate to them and share their hunger to learn as well as their ambitions for the future.
