Worked on makeup and hair for multiple lead actors during large-scale school productions, including a recent show with a cast of over 100 members. Collaborated closely with the costume crew and the Black Maskers club, delivering effective makeup under tight time constraints and with limited tools. Previously worked with a smaller production team, allowing for more detailed and creative makeup and hair work. Additionally supported front-of-house operations, assisting with ticketing and audience coordination to ensure smooth show nights.

As an Assistant Swim Instructor, I worked under the guidance of a senior instructor to teach swimming to children of varying skill levels, including those in special education. I was responsible for helping students feel safe and confident in the water, often providing one-on-one support when needed. My role also included demonstrating swimming techniques, cleaning and organizing supplies after lessons, and ensuring a positive learning environment. This experience helped me develop patience, leadership skills, and the ability to adapt to individual needs within a group setting.
