I look at literary works as a place of solace and an escape from the world we live in. Growing up, I wasn’t the most enthusiastic about books or “words on a page” as I used to call it. However, learning that there wasn’t one set interpretation of a story or a character made books a means for discussion, to share our individual ideas, prompting my love for writing and analysis, a skill I took up whilst taking IB English Literature at higher-level. I am excited to hear out different takes on stories and share my passion for books with all of you!

I acted on a small stage with a small cast and minimal props to directing and writing an original musical with a total of 142 cast and crew. At the same time, I was part of Teens2Kids and Buku Berjalan, a program that taught underprivileged children a variety of subjects from arts and craft to history. I would love to share what I’ve learned by building a short story or reading a script and many more lesson plans ahead!

Having been exposed to many things while growing up in a dynamic environment, I have turned writing into my medium of expression. From a young age, I would write about my different experiences and eventually, it became one of my outputs. Aside from writing, I have a great interest in health and sports. I’ve completed two triathlons and was scouted to play for the DKI women’s soccer team. I am excited to introduce creative writing and fitness to kids and cannot wait to share my passion with them!

I may come off as a person with a business mindset but behind the serious face there are a lot of things I find comfort in doing. From baking and cooking for my friends and family, as well as drawing/painting people and cartoon characters. I love doing these things because they put a smile on other people’s faces and has the ability to bring people together. Although I have never had any professional experiences, I recently started a brownies venture to raise money for the global pandemic. I cannot wait to share my knowledge in baking/cooking and increase creativity in the future generation!

Staying fit has always been one of the biggest aspects of my life whether it be going for a run to boost my mood, doing yoga to calm me, or going to the gym to work on my body. I swam competitively for several of my school years and took IGCSE Physical Education to learn about what I love. Join me in making a healthy lifestyle something fun that you can do from home too!

I grew up baking and cooking with my family where I learned to make various recipes such as mug cakes, ice cream and some of my favorite home cooked meals. Two years ago, I had the pleasure of teaching students in Surabaya ranging from kindergartners to sixth graders. Seeing the students’ excitement and joy to learn English through activities was such an unforgettable experience. I am so excited to be able to share my passions and interact with children again through CreativePOP

I’ve had experience in performing arts and have always loved it but was always too shy to perform in front of bigger crowds. This is one of the reasons why I want to create a safe space for the kids to learn, grow, and express themselves freely, so that they’ll be able to flourish in the arts in their later years and also build confidence. I also love anything related to fitness and believe that the arts and fitness go hand in hand when it comes to expressing our emotions! I believe that a healthy life style helps with creating a healthy environment around us. Join me in creating funnty tik-toks, doing different cardio dances, or even reenacting your favourite disney characters!

I’ve always had a passion for visual arts and literature since I was a child, something that I nurtured throughout my high school years by taking IB Visual Arts and English Language & Literature A classes at higher-level. Writing essays was my preferred type of assessment in high school, a skill that I developed from my love of creative writing as a child. I also have years of experience working with children through community service activities, teaching subjects ranging from English in Bali to healthcare education at Jakarta orphanages. Besides that, I’ve kept myself busy during quarantine by taking commissions for my art (mostly digital, but I’m open to teaching oil painting, sketching, etc.) and reading books. Looking forward to working with everyone!
