I’m a creative video editor who doesn’t just 'cut footage' but shapes stories, pitches ideas, and pushes boundaries. I understand the craft of classic editing, pacing, emotion, tension, release—and I’m excited to do it in a way that doesn’t feel like traditional video. I’m looking to work with creative leadership that’s pushing for bold, meaningful, unexpected work. I have the ability to work across the spectrum from high concept to quick social videos. I’m someone with a POV who can speak up when something’s off, pitch when something’s missing, and execute when something’s ready to fly. I’m an editor who thinks in tone, not just timelines.
