I’m Letícia Melo, an actress, screenwriter, copywriter, and freelance video editor. My journey began on stage and in front of the camera, and soon expanded into writing and editing — different forms of the same passion: storytelling. I’ve written a 20-minute short film and am currently developing a series, creating narratives that balance depth, emotion, and entertainment. As a video editor, I work with CapCut, Adobe Premiere, After Effects, and Canva, producing content for short films, social media, and promotional reels. My acting background gives me a unique edge: I understand rhythm, emotion, and character — and I translate that into every cut, script, or piece of copy I craft. Academically, I hold a Master’s Degree in Political Philosophy from Universidade Nova de Lisboa (2024) and a Law degree from FACECA. This background sharpened my analytical thinking, clear communication, and research skills — tools I now integrate into both my creative and professional work. Fluent in English and French (with intermediate Italian), and having lived and trained internationally (Lisbon, London, Valencia, and Brazil), I bring adaptability, creativity, and precision to every project. I’m passionate about combining critical thinking with creative performance, and I approach each collaboration with professionalism, originality, and a commitment to stories that connect.
