I'm a video editor with a background in editorial and broadcast journalism, where I wrote strong copy and edited video for live broadcast under tight deadlines. I collaborated closely with executive producers, senior producers, and reporters to deliver clear, compelling, and timely content. Today, I specialize in vertical video editing and social-first content designed to perform across platforms. I create engaging short-form videos using archival footage, photos, and music, and design clean, on-brand graphics in Canva to enhance storytelling. I also have experience with color grading and sound leveling to ensure polished, high-quality final outputs. I’ve worked across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, Bluesky, and Threads, and understand how to tailor content to each platform’s style, pacing, and audience behavior. What sets me apart is my editorial foundation + social media expertise. I don’t just edit videos, I craft content with a clear narrative and strategy behind it to drive engagement and reach.
