What I'm looking for

I'm interested in developing longer-form social media series and narrative-led content around dance, creativity and life beyond university.

At PODDANCE Studios, I film Hip Hop and Heels classes for studio and social media use, capturing choreography and class footage while letting sessions run naturally. I edit short-form videos in CapCut and develop captions and concepts that convey the personality behind the dance.

At Stars Performing Arts - Create Studios, I taught and choreographed dance and drama for children and young adults, including Hip Hop classes. I also taught and performed choreography through university dance projects, and completed a professional practice placement at BASE Dance Studios.
