Content Creator

As a multi-media creator I specialise in social media marketing campaigns, combining my videography, photography, graphic design, interviews, written stories, editing and brand development to capture compelling visual narratives that are true to current trends and organisational frameworks.  

My creative works include leading the social media marketing campaigns for the Yolo High Wheelers professional baseball team, capturing in-game highlights, fan features, commercials, partnership and merchandise promotions, player and coach interviews and a documentary series.

As the primary content creator, I co-managed our social media platforms which included academy teams, varsity clubs, social groups, facilities, mascots, partner media organisations and the athletic department, ensuring brand and image consistency. 

Some notable works include documentaries and hype-videos showcasing the RMIT Redbacks and Yolo High Wheelers during their highest levels of competitions and podcasts featuring sit down interviews with the athletes. Fun vox pops conducted on-campus and in the streets, informational videos and features. A mini-series highlighting tennis in the remote parts of Australia and a studio show previewing the AFL Grand Final. Other works include celebratory digital screens linking to written articles, large scale posters for fitness facilities and an award winning short film.
