Over the years, I have volunteered my audio-visual expertise for various events at both my primary and high schools. My journey began with programming lighting and setting up audio for my primary school’s annual discos. This experience culminated in 2023 when I programmed the entire lighting and audio setup for Servite College’s high school musical. The production received a perfect score of 100% from adjudicators, who were impressed by the professional quality of the display I created. Currently, I am working on programming lighting for both a performing arts showcase and another play at Servite College.
