Available to hire
I’m a dynamic video editor with 13+ years of post-production experience, skilled in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. After working as a team manager, I returned to hands-on creative work, blending technical skill with leadership insight. I’m passionate about visual storytelling and excited by the creative potential of AI, with experience using tools like Midjourney and Runway. I thrive in collaborative, forward-thinking teams and enjoy mentoring talent while crafting impactful content.
I’m always exploring new ways to push storytelling through editing and visuals, balancing craft with strategy to deliver on client goals. This journey—from leadership to hands-on editing—gives me a unique mix of strategic vision and artistic depth that I bring to every project.
