What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote video editing role where I can apply my skills to craft compelling videos. I’d love a position that offers financial stability and professional growth. I work best in environments that prioritize creativity, support and a balance between productivity and well-being, minimizing unnecessary stress and allowing me to focus on delivering high quality results.

I am a passionate and detail-oriented video editor with experience in crafting compelling visual narratives. Since 2022, I have worked on short documentaries, social media content, podcasts and long-form videos, ensuring seamless pacing, dynamic transitions and high-quality production. My proficiency in Adobe Premiere Pro and Adobe Audition.

Beyond video editing, I have experience in WordPress blogging, podcast audio editing and digital content strategizing. I excel at brainstorming and strategizing digital media projects, ensuring content is optimized for audience engagement.
