I’m a video producer and editor who’s obsessed with making people stop scrolling. My background is in journalism and short-form content, so I’m used to working fast and making every second count. I handle everything from scripting to shooting to editing, and I always think about the audience first, what’s going to grab them, keep them watching, and actually make them care. I also have a strong audio background, including podcast production, music mixing, and sound design, which helps me bring an extra layer of polish to everything I make. Whether it’s social content, branded video, or something more story-driven, I focus on creating work that feels intentional, engaging, and built to perform, not just look good.

    paper Basically Therapy

    Basically Therapy was a four‑episode mini podcast series hosted by Ben Ray that blended humor, honesty, and introspection into candid conversations about life, mental health, and personal growth. Though never intended as a substitute for professional therapy, the series offered a lighthearted yet thoughtful space to unpack the chaos of modern media while navigating the emotional and practical challenges of being unemployed.

    Across its short run, Basically Therapy mixed personal storytelling and witty banter to explore self‑improvement, relationships, and the everyday struggles of being human. The result was a relatable, engaging space where listeners could reflect, laugh, and maybe walk away with a bit of clarity during an otherwise uncertain time.
