volunteer work: jr nationals weightlifting championships

in june 2025, i volunteered with my provincial weightlifting association to help with social media coverage and content for the jr nationals weightlifting championships, which was held locally.

for two of the three competition days, i took videos and photos of athletes, posted videos of many athletes on the main Instagram story, and designed in-feed content posts for the podium in each weight class for athletes to want to share (many did). many of my videos were also used for highlight lifts for reels.

i wasn’t the sole social media manager for this event, but i played a huge role in making the feed, stories, and DMs engaging and responsive during the event and for about the week after.

see below for some of the visuals i created from the event or check out the community Instagram page from the event.
