I’m a freelance video editor and content creator specialising in sport, social media, and digital storytelling. I hold a First Class Honours degree in Multimedia Sports Journalism, which has given me a strong foundation in storytelling, audience engagement, and producing content that works across digital platforms. Over the past few years, I’ve built hands-on experience across football, YouTube, and branded content. Through my freelance work, I’ve edited promotional Instagram videos, interviews, matchday vlogs, and recap content for clients such as Bridge The Gap Football, Coach Cain, Toby Bull, and The Bald Builders. This has included fast-paced social reels, sponsorship integrations, and longer YouTube formats like how-to guides and event vlogs. Alongside freelance work, I’ve worked in professional sports media environments with AFC Bournemouth, Sky Sports News, and Portsmouth FC, gaining experience editing for online platforms, operating broadcast cameras, and working to tight editorial deadlines. What makes me stand out is my blend of creative storytelling and real-world production experience. My academic background, combined with industry work, means I understand not just how to edit, but why certain content performs well. I’m comfortable working at pace, adapting to feedback, and tailoring edits to match a brand’s identity and audience, whether that’s short-form social content or longer YouTube videos. I’m reliable, organised, and easy to work with, and I take pride in delivering clean, engaging edits that feel authentic and purposeful.
