Jade Bowell
职业: Sydney Performance Academy

Department Manager at Decathlon
Management
Oversaw visual merchandising and staff coordination for the Dance range, while providing expert customer service, managing inventory and crowd control during peak periods, and ensuring a positive, organised retail environment.
兴趣: Besides acting and the performing arts, I absolutely love hiking and being in the great outdoors. Whenever I can, I love to go camping in the mountains or skiing! It’s a shame I don’t live in a country with towering mountains like the French Alps — Australia’s highest peak is only 2,228 metres — but I still adore Australian nature and try to get outside as much as possible.
I’m also a big animal lover, especially when it comes to dogs. I have a dog named Roxie who brings so much joy to my life!
Another one of my big passions is travel. I’ve been lucky enough to explore many incredible places over the past few years. Some of my favourite countries I’ve visited include Uzbekistan, Nepal, India, Kyrgyzstan, Portugal, Thailand, China, Indonesia, and Morocco. Next on the list: Sri Lanka and Taiwan!
I’m also learning French and have been ever since high school. When I was 16, I went on an exchange to France and completely fell in love with the culture and the food! That experience stayed with me — so much so that in recent years, I even met my partner (who’s French!) right here in Australia.
Because I’m learning a second language myself, I really understand how tough it can be to grapple with pronunciation and how nerve-wracking it can feel to speak in front of native speakers. But just know — with me, you’ll always have a kind and supportive teacher by your side. I’ll be with you every step of the way on your language-learning journey!
