Filmmaker and video editor with a Vanderbilt University degree in Cinema and Media Arts (Cum Laude), specializing in performance-driven edits that bring choreography and movement to life. I translate live footage, BTS, and event moments into story-driven short-form content with fast turnarounds and a strong eye for pacing. I’ve directed and edited music, documentary, and event-based projects remotely or on set, and I run an independent production business (KClevMedia). I’m seeking freelance remote video editor work focused on music content.
