Goebel is most known as a choreographer. Over the years she has worked with names like Doja Cat, Teyana Taylor and Karol G. Most recently, she choreographed Lady Gaga’s “Abracadabra” music video, which premiered during the Grammy Awards last Sunday. Prior to that, she had a hand in Beyoncé’s NFL Halftime show performance on Christmas as well as Rihanna’s 2023 Super Bowl Halftime performance.

Goebel has done brand work as well, choreographing for a Nike ad, in addition to releasing a collaborative sneaker with the company. She also has worked with Tresemme, Christian Dior and Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty line, choreographing for that brand’s fashion show. It was the latter project that won her an Emmy award in 2022.
