Work Experience

Drama and Dance Teacher at Sh-Time Performing Arts
January 1, 2023 - Present
Lead fun, creative drama sessions that get young people moving, thinking, and expressing themselves. From energy-warming warm-ups and imaginative drama games to creative movement and storytelling, I plan age-appropriate inclusive sessions that balance structure with spontaneity— whether we’re diving into improvisation, making props in arts and crafts, or preparing for a big performance. I focus on nurturing each child’s unique voice while building teamwork, communication, and storytelling skills. As a positive role model, I love mentoring young performers and creating a space where everyone feels seen, supported, and inspired to shine.
