I’m a retention-focused video editor delivering long-form YouTube, podcasts, talking-head videos, and short-form clips for creators, coaches, and founders. I start every project with audience research—analyzing top performers, retention patterns, and comment themes—so the hooks, pacing, and structure are built before the first cut. I work across Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and CapCut, handling everything from captions and sound design/audio cleanup to color and motion graphics, plus repurposing long-form episodes into platform-ready Shorts/Reels/TikTok with matching pacing.
