Wushu

I've spent a decade pursuing the Chinese martial art of wushu through competition and performance.

2022 – 2024

Featured Soloist, Royal Caribbean Cruise Line

I performed wushu aboard Wonder of the Seas, the world's largest cruise ship at the time. Our cast of 22 women included Olympic-level divers, synchronized swimmers, and globally ranked slackliners. I also served as wardrobe supervisor for the cast: repairing costumes, maintaining makeup and shoe inventory.

Freelance Work

I perform the Chinese martial art of wushu at amusement parks, corporate events, etc., incorporating techniques from longfist, staff, chainwhip, sword, spear, and fight choreography.
