Summary
I'm Katie Whitehead, a passionate Dancer and Stage Tech. My expertise lies in being both on Stage and working in the background. I get the best of Both Worlds! I have been working at KFC as an FOH and BOH worker for 5 years! My experience there has taught me how to be diligent during rush hours, develop strong customer service skills, handle money while maintaining a professional attitude, and help train new trainees. I have been trained in dance for 16 years as a Belly Dancer. I have my Teaching Qualifications for A-Z and my Complete Teacher Training for A-Z. Also, when needed, I am able to lead if asked. I have my Cert III in Live Productions and Technical Services from TAFE, which I completed at School, and my Bachelor of Performance and Theatre from the University of Wollongong.
