What I'm looking for

I seek roles producing short-form, social-first video that drive engagement; remote or hybrid teams valuing creativity, fast turnarounds, and data-informed storytelling.

I am a detail-oriented social video editor with experience crafting high-performing content for Snapchat, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok, and a track record of episodes reaching millions of viewers.

At Caters Media Group I edited Snapchat Discover episodes that achieved notable results—When They Discover I'm A Giant reached 3.33M unique viewers with a 39.3% story completion rate and 22.8K followers gained—while producing cross-platform content and ensuring compliance with community guidelines.

I freelance and edit wedding and live-event footage, delivering fast turnarounds, advanced color grading, audio editing, and creative storytelling. I am adaptable to trends, reliable working remotely, and focused on maximizing engagement through thoughtful editing and audience-first choices.
