Founder's Stories
From an early age, the founder of Booming Cherries has been captivated by the allure of stage performance. Following her passion, she pursued a diploma in Applied Drama and Psychology after graduating from secondary school, embarking on a journey in the performing arts.
Her experience as an intern and teacher assistant in a speech and drama company, coupled with her active practice in the field, deepened her love for performance. After earning a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Performance Studies with a minor in Psychology in Sydney, she continued her acting career and freelance teaching, all while observing the intricacies of drama production and education, and seeking opportunities to contribute further.
Her teaching journey began as a relief teacher in primary school, where she also offered private tuition services after school, discovering the fulfillment of helping others. As her passion for teaching evolved alongside her acting career, she identified opportunities for enhancement within the drama curriculum during her tenure as a drama educator and curriculum developer.
“There are numerous instances where I have observed that the curriculum could be enhanced, yet I find myself in no position to effect change. This realization inspired me to establish Booming Cherries, as I aim to provide children with affordable, high-quality programs that ignite their passion for learning,” sheates her concerns regarding drama education, which motivated her to create an educational institution to make a meaningful impact.
“I take great pleasure in witnessing the growth of children's confidence, speech, and language in a stimulating environment. This drives me to achieve more. Theatre has imparted invaluable lessons about myself, and I am eager to embrace that experience once again. I aspire for children to not only discover more about themselves through drama but also to excel academically and socially.”
With extensive experience in the world of theatre, our founder has cultivated her professional expertise in the performing arts. From an early age, she recognized the importance of acquiring skills that would allow her to explore diverse roles beyond performing.
As a theatre practitioner, she exemplifies empathy, enthusiasm, and a strong commitment to portraying her characters in the most engaging manner, effectively conveying the script's meaning while relishing the excitement of one-take stage performances.
In her role as a production manager, she ensures the seamless operation of backend processes, upholding the structural systems of production fundamentals that are often overlooked. She dedicates herself to managing scheduling, rehearsals, budgets, and expenditures, ensuring that progress remains in capable hands.
As a makeup artist, she possesses a Diploma in Professional Makeup Artistry and is adept at delivering exceptional results across various settings, including theatre, broadcast media, bridal events, and special effects for Halloween.
She firmly believes that individuals are never too old to learn something new, take another chance, set new goals, or continue dreaming, and that age should never be a barrier to growth.
