Dynamic and detail-driven video editor with nearly 10 years of experience in storytelling through video. Adept at creating engaging short-form content for podcasts, social media, and YouTube using Adobe Premiere Pro and CapCut. As both a professional editor and content creator, I bring deep audience insight, an eye for viral content, and a passion for crafting thumb-stopping edits that drive views, retention, and brand growth. I have a proven track record editing short-form videos that convert — from managing a YouTube channel that doubles its subscribers in under two years, to creating Reels and Shorts for my personal brand The Saved Woman (32K+ YouTube subscribers). Skilled in pacing, transitions, captions, B-roll syncing, audio cleanup, and visual hooks tailored for podcast-driven content.
