Our Florist Alicia, on the Road to Excellence at WorldSkills<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

At just 20 years old, Alicia L., a florist at Narmino, skillfully and sensitively represents the new generation of passionate artisans. Born in Nice and residing in Cros-de-Cagnes, she perfectly embodies family tradition, creativity, and determination.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Vocation and a Journey in Full Bloom<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Inspired by her grandfather, who dreamed of becoming a landscape designer, Alicia developed a deep attachment to flowers and creation at a very young age. After obtaining a CAP (vocational certificate) and then a professional florist’s diploma, she joined Narmino in Monaco, where she perfects her art every day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Here, we have so much more material, varieties, and styles… It’s a real creative playground,” she confides.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At Narmino, this passion finds a natural echo: amidst high standards, elegance, and artistic freedom, Alicia can finally give free rein to her creativity and bring to fruition the dream her grandfather passed on to her.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

WorldSkills: A Personal and Collective Challenge<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

It all began when a WorldSkills champion florist visited her class in 2024. This encounter awakened in Alicia the desire to push her limits. She chose to participate in a team competition, a format that brought her confidence and motivation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

First Stage: The Regionals in Avignon<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During six hours of competition, candidates had to create pieces that were both technical and artistic: a floral hat, or a perfume bottle to be adorned with flowers. Alicia won silver in the general classification and gold in the “parcours plus” category, rewarding her creativity and rigor.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Alicia transforms her neurodivergence into strength: precision, concentration, and attention to detail become her allies.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Second Stage: The Nationals in Marseille<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Six months later, she participated in the national trials in Marseille. Between physical, mental preparation, and training, the competition was intense. Waking up at 5:30 AM, warm-up, team brief, followed by three days of creation, totaling nearly 18 hours of challenges.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The themes reflected the spirit of the city: a wall hanging on the Old Port theme, or a linear bouquet inspired by the Mucem.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At the closing ceremony, Alicia won bronze in the “parcours plus” category among fifteen florists, a moment of emotion and pride shared by the entire Narmino team.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And Tomorrow?<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

After this intense adventure, Alicia wishes to refocus:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Competitions are an incredible experience, but also very demanding. I want to stabilize myself and continue to progress in my profession. Perhaps one day I’ll compete again, but not right away.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

At Narmino, we are proud to support Alicia on her journey, a symbol of passion, perseverance, and creativity. Her perspective on flowers, both sensitive and bold, perfectly illustrates the spirit of our house.<\/p>\n
