I started this Instagram project to share my journey as a Brazilian student-athlete in the United States and help others interested in following a similar path. Through Reels, educational carousels, and personal stories, I share insights into college sports, recruitment, and student-athlete life.
This project highlights my content, creative process, and performance analysis, with the goal of making the student-athlete experience more accessible, useful, and relatable.
Carousel | Graphic Design & Visual Storytelling
This eight-slide carousel introduces my background in Brazilian youth soccer and my journey to becoming a student-athlete in the United States. I designed the slides using Adobe Photoshop, combining photography, typography, and a consistent visual style to tell my story through a connected sequence.
Reels Production & Storytelling
A selection of Instagram Reels I've created about the international student-athlete experience in the United States. These videos combine educational content, personal experiences, and different storytelling formats to make information engaging and accessible.
In this direct-to-camera video, I share Tajon Buchanan’s journey from college soccer to the professional level. It’s part of a series I created to highlight former student-athletes’ experiences and show aspiring athletes that pursuing college soccer in the U.S. doesn’t mean giving up the possibility of playing professionally.
For this vlog, I organized footage from a college trip to North Georgia in chronological order, using voiceover to guide viewers through the experience. The goal was to give my audience a behind-the-scenes look at life as a student-athlete while turning moments from the trip into a personal, easy-to-follow story.
For this trend-inspired travel video to Atlanta with my team, I intentionally took a more cinematic approach to filming and editing. My focus was on using visuals, music, and pacing to capture the feeling of the experience, without relying on dialogue or narration.
