High-school talent show stage

Jan 2018 — First time hosting

A packed school auditorium, a mic that suddenly felt very real, and a line-up of nervous performing high-schoolers. His first time hosting anything. That day, he learned how to set a tone in the first 10 seconds, keep the pace between acts, and make the audience feel like part of the show. He discovered he loves hosting events—clear cues, warm energy, and just enough humour to keep everyone with him.
