BIOGRAPHY
Shannon loved watching musicals since she was a teenager and often fantasized herself as one of the performers acting, singing and dancing on stage. However, she didn't think she had the skills (and guts) to do that, and it seemed that this fantasy would remain as just that - a fantasy.
Until Aug 09, after having a few opportunities in performing over the years and almost a year of praying, Shannon decided (crazily – as many told her) to give up her full-time job as a social worker to pursue her dream of being a performer. God is really good, and in a few short months, she had been casted in various lead and supporting roles in short films, corporate videos, school assembly shows, print and video advertisement, and a stage play.
Other than performing, Shannon does life-skills and motivational workshops as a freelance trainer and facilitator. She loves being able to share her personal experiences with others and especially to help to build the next generation.
Shannon loves to sing and had provided vocal support for church services. She had also been invited by her friends to sing at their weddings as well as other churches’ outreach events, where she is exceedingly privileged to share her testimonies. With feedback from industry professionals that she has a nice tone of voice and potential, she is currently training to sing professionally.
Her experiences are barely at the tip of the iceberg and there’s so much more that Shannon needs to learn, grasp and improve on. Nevertheless, this has been an amazing journey, one she never thought it possible to even embark on. She wants to encourage everyone to hold on to his or her dream and pursue it, no matter how impossible it may seem!
Shannon is very thankful to all the directors, casting directors, producers, crew members and co-actors she has worked with, for giving her the opportunities to hone her skills, for teaching and guiding her in this path of uncertainty. She is also grateful to her family and friends for being supportive and encouraging of her dream.
Last but not least, she has never failed to be amazed at God’s work in her life, His favour and blessings upon her, and His abundant provisions. Thank you, dear Jesus!
“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”
