What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to grow creatively while collaborating with innovative teams in video production.

I am a passionate content creator with a proven track record of producing engaging short-form videos that have garnered over 100 million views across various platforms. My journey began on TikTok, where I successfully built a following of over 600,000 people and achieved more than 85 million views. This experience has not only honed my editing skills but also allowed me to explore different formats, including YouTube, where I have accumulated over 16 million views.

Currently, I work as a Video Editor at OMBD, where I perform post-production work, ensuring that all content meets high-quality standards while adhering to time and budget constraints. My role involves collaborating with clients, managing multiple camera angles, and integrating graphics and sound effects to create compelling narratives. I have also produced short films, music videos, and documentaries during my college course, further expanding my creative portfolio.
