My story

About

I'm a video editor with experience in social media content, YouTube videos, and fast-turnaround editing. I'm self-taught, starting with personal YouTube content in 2017 and transitioning to freelance client work in 2020.

I specialize in retention-focused editing (hooks, pacing, and platform optimization), short-form social content, and long-form YouTube videos using DaVinci Resolve Studio and Premiere Pro workflows.

I'm currently looking for full-time remote video editor positions where I can apply these skills to help brands and companies create engaging content.
