“YYGS Connect gifted me with new friendships, taught me to embrace global opportunities, and proved that great experiences still exist in a pandemic.”

As an individual who’s passionate about exploring my artistic interests in theatre and dance, the pandemic completely displaced me from the stage and launched me into a foreign online space like anyone else. Since then nothing significant has happened but I’ve been making small strides.

As 1st vice president of the Campion College Dance Society, I’ve worked with my executive team to navigate the virtual space. This allowed us to stage our first virtual auditions online and also stream an entire showcase online. In addition to this, I’ve also been working on an animation project with a few friends I did theatre with. I really can’t say much about it at this moment but there’s a chance the animation could get picked up by a famous children’s streaming service.
