I'm a freelance video editor who thrives in fast-paced, deadline-driven environments. I recently collaborated on a wedding film after interviewing with a BBC producer, delivering a fast-turnaround, emotionally driven edit that met tight deadlines. I enjoy turning concepts into polished stories and quality footage that resonates with audiences. I also manage and contribute to growing YouTube and social media content streams, including a high-performing ASMR channel and brand collaborations for The Wine Shop, Pattie’s Bakery and Lofree. I combine storytelling, content creation, color grading and brand development using tools like Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Canva and AVID Media Composer to grow audiences, improve engagement and deliver compelling visuals.
