Passion Thursdays
@passion_thursdays
I manage and create bachata and salsa content for a Latin sports club in the Lower East Side for an audience of 10.7 k+ followers across all social platforms. Each week I produce skits related to Dominican pop culture and current events. I edit highlight videos to showcase a wide range of talent, class instruction, and cadid interactions with guests. I also deliver presentations and serve as a spokesperson for the nightclub during dance and music festivals.Presentations

I served as a spokesperson and event promoter during the mixer event. I videographed the event and encouraged networking and post-networking opportunities between attendees by speaking one on one with individual guests and offering discounted tickets to future events.

Responding to Tragedy

Online, Latin night clubs across New York City stood in solidarity with the Dominican community posting tribute videos dedicated to Peréz.
