Stacy Menae

The course gave me a lot more confidence and made a career change a lot more achievable. Hard work and dedication really pays off.

Stacy first came to Lancaster and Morecambe College in 2006 to study Hairdressing after high school, and then moved onto our Access to Higher Education course in 2025. 

We asked Stacy about her journey into studying at LMC, and she said…

I wanted to go on to University or an Apprentice degree but I left school with no GCSEs or A Levels. I chose to do the Access course for a pathway to higher education.

Stacy said it made sense for her to study here again as she knew the College and was still in the local area. While on the course, Stacy was able to meet some great people and she said the most enjoyable parts of the course were being supported by great tutors and studying alongside likeminded students.

We asked Stacy, what key skills and behaviours she learnt whilst on the course and she said... 

I learnt the academic skill of Harvard referencing, something I know I will need to know in higher education.

Stacy currently runs a barbershop, being responsible for clients’ details and day to day runnings of the business. We asked her what aspects of her course benefitted her in this, to which she said…

The course gave me a lot more confidence and made a future career change a lot more achievable. Hard work and dedication really pays off.

To those thinking about doing the same course, Stacy said…

Do it! It’s really hard work but worth it.
