About
Creative and versatile freelance video editor and videographer with a focus on branded content, documentary storytelling, and post-production strategy. I partner with agencies, brands, and filmmakers to shape stories that are honest, engaging, and visually sharp—whether for national campaigns or independent films. My work spans product launches, social-first content, and cause-driven narratives, with experience across both fast-paced commercial timelines and intimate, long-form edits. I’m comfortable owning a project from ingest to delivery, or plugging into existing workflows to support creative teams. Tools I use: Premiere Pro, After Effects, Audition, DaVinci Resolve, Frame.io, Photoshop, Illustrator, and MASV.
