About

20 years old, self-taught in Adobe After Effects for 8+ years, and genuinely obsessed with what makes content stop a scroll. I built a video platform to 26K followers and 1.4M likes, not by following a formula, but by understanding how culture moves right now, what’s trending, what’s oversaturated, and what actually hits with a young audience. Skilled in social media management, campaign planning, and content creation, with a proven track record of increasing brand visibility. Adept at managing multi-channel campaigns and collaborating with cross-functional teams. Excited to bring digital media expertise to the team.
