Hi, I'm Miriya
I am a dedicated artist and creative professional with a BFA in Dance Choreography and minor in Digital Arts from UC Irvine. My passion is connecting with people through creativity, whether that’s teaching, performing, choreographing, or supporting events that bring communities together.
With over 17 years of experience in dance, I’ve performed, taught, and created for a wide range of artists and communities. This background has not only strengthened my discipline and adaptability but also shaped me into a confident leader who can communicate ideas and engage diverse groups.
Outside the studio, I thrive in fast-paced environments where creativity and strategy meet. From directing a choreographer showcase with nearly 100 performers to supporting events as a Nickelodeon Animation intern, I have proven my ability to manage details while keeping the bigger picture in mind.
I am motivated, curious, and eager to keep growing. Above all, I look forward to contributing my unique perspective and skills to roles that entertain and inspire.

Experience
Event Operations Intern - Nickelodeon
As an Events Intern at Nickelodeon, I helped plan and execute a variety of internal and external events, including the Kids’ Choice Awards Pre-Party, Variety’s 10 Animators to Watch, Pluto TV Summer of Cinema, Smurfs screenings, and wrap parties.








I also had the opportunity to work on a final project with the rest of the NICKterns where we were assigned to reboot a show and we decided on Danny Phantom. The creator made a guest appearance at our presentation.
Education & Engagement
I lead dance workshops and classes for groups of all ages, creating experiences that are fun and tailored to each audience. From school programs to community events, I focus on making movement an inclusive way to connect, build confidence, and celebrate creativity.
"Looking In" Showcase
Co-directed and produced a 15-choreographer dance showcase titled Looking In featuring 80-100 dancers, overseeing all creative, casting, and production decisions for summers of 2022 and 2023.
