Available to hire
I am a multifaceted performer and educator who loves shaping young minds through music and drama. I work with students from infants to sixth grade, teaching rhythm, melody, instruments, and stage performance, and I enjoy directing school concerts and theatre pieces with self-penned lyrics.\n\nAlongside teaching, I have a robust background in IT and corporate training, including mobility/BYOD programs and Domino administration at HP, which helps me bring organization, technical literacy, and discipline to the arts. I am passionate about blending STEAM and the arts to empower creativity and confidence in learners.
