College of Magic
Teaching & Lesson Planning
For several years, I served as a volunteer lecturer and course coordinator at the College of Magic, where I taught magic and performance skills to children and adolescents. The primary aim was to boost their confidence and facilitate their development in a number of areas, as well as nurture their own progress as performers. Presently, I provide ad-hoc lessons on performance for young audiences and creativity in magic.
Boys to Men Mentoring Facilitation & Process Work
For a decade, I worked as a lead staff member and facilitator in an organisation that delivered impactful weekend-long residential experiences for adolescents aged between 14 and 18 years. Collaborating with a skilled team and a seasoned psychologist, we created a powerful program centred on psycho-dramatic emotional process work. Our mission was to empower at-risk youth by cultivating emotional literacy, fostering social and community cohesion, and facilitating the healing of deep-seated trauma. I was intimately involved in the design and implementation of nearly every weekend conducted, participating in a transformative intervention that left a positive impact on hundreds of young people in schools and rural areas across the country.
This work stoked a deep passion for community-based prosocial projects, and developed my skills in designing and implementing transformative experiential designs across large areas, as well as coordinating diverse teams.
