Since her teenage years, Shannon loved watching musicals 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 through the years, 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.
Shannon had also just completed filming for her first television role for a children’s sci-fi drama in OKTO, where she plays an evil alien. Her upcoming project, where she is part of the ensemble, is “December Rains” 《雨季》，a Chinese musical by Toy Factory starring local songbird Kit Chan.
Shannon loves to sing and had provided vocal support for church services and also sung at her friends’ wedding. With feedback from industry professionals that she has a nice tone of voice and potential, she is currently training to sing professionally.
It has been an amazing journey, which Shannon 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!
“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.”
– Ecclesiastes 3:11
