After being educated in the United States, Alice returned to her home, Hong Kong, where she continues to develop herself and her knowledge of performance. A passionate ballet dancer in her youth and an avid Stage Assistant throughout her school years, Alice developed an interest in stage performance and theatre production by working in Front of House for educational theatre. In her spare time, Alice runs origami workshops in primary schools and education centres as well as teaches private Cantonese lessons.

With her passion in teaching and developing young people, plus her skills in design and office management, Alice is taking up her role as Office Manager and Group Leader to keep STAGE RIGHT! growing. She has been co-directing multiple shows in three Theatre Festivals. With the love in Cantonese culture and language, she is grateful to be the Group Leader of Cantonese drama – building confidence, vocabulary and fluency for second language learners. Alice believes every child is unique with potential.

She is so excited to see how the children elevate with their confidence and talent.
