Video editor with ten years of full-time production experience, cutting everything from hook-driven social shorts to long-form documentary and testimonial pieces. I plug into an existing workflow, match an established brand's tone and pacing, and deliver on a recurring deadline without hand-holding. A decade of weekly broadcast output means I ship finished work, not first drafts—editing, color, sound, and delivery end-to-end while keeping projects moving on schedule.
