What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote role where I can own end-to-end short-form video editing and post-production, partner with brands and creators, and deliver high-retention Reels/TikToks/Shorts with cinematic storytelling and mobile-ready quality.

I’m a dynamic remote video editor, videographer, and short-form content specialist focused on turning raw footage and long-form media into viral-ready Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts, and cinematic brand stories. I bring end-to-end post-production strength—motion graphics, color grading, sound design, and dynamic pacing—so every cut is built to maximize audience engagement across social ecosystems.

Since 2022, I’ve led short-form content curation and optimization as an independent contractor, editing and repurposing 20+ hours weekly of long-form videos and podcasts into high-retention “snackable” content with dynamic captions, kinetic text, and strong hook/CTA structure. I also collaborate with corporate clients, entrepreneurs, and creators to shape distinct visual brand identities, and I manage multi-platform workflows and tight delivery timelines across YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn.
