I am currently a PhD student specializing in applied theatre interventions and social work practice. My professional journey is rooted in a passion for leveraging the arts to foster mental well-being, group dynamics, and social change.Throughout my career, I have honed my expertise in mental health, group facilitation, and theatre techniques. I have had the privilege of supporting families experiencing violence, conducting trainings on mental wellbeing, and facilitating group work across diverse populations. My dedication to this field is driven by a belief in the transformative power of theatre and its potential to empower individuals and communities.𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬:I am deeply engaged in research that bridges the gap between social work and applied theatre interventions. I am also interested in researching how this intervention strategy supports marginalized populations, specifically racial and sexual/genderqueer minority populations. As part of my MSW thesis, I investigated the lived experiences of gay, bisexual, and queer men in Singapore and how Theatre of the Oppressed fostered critical consciousness. I will be excited to collaborate and research in this area of work!𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬:• Applied Theatre Interventions• Mental Wellbeing and Group Dynamics• Social Work Practice• Training and Facilitation• LGBTQIA+ Community Support• Research and Publications𝐋𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭:I am always eager to connect with fellow professionals, researchers, and organizations who share a passion for using the arts to drive social change.
