Dr Renee Lim - Sponsorship/ Events
Renee has been singing, dancing and acting since she was 5. She has been working professionally in the field for many years, on stage and screen, and is also involved in writing, choreography, production and directing. Her experience has allowed her to delve into the realm of teaching which she also finds very rewarding. Medicine didn't enter her life till she was 17, but has since become an equal passion in her life. She works as a locum doctor to allow for the randomness of the performing industry, but has a special interest in Emergency Medicine and Geriatrics, and manages to fit in about 4-5 shifts of work a week.
