What I'm looking for

I’m looking for media and content creation roles where I can write and produce compelling, SEO-driven stories—supporting YouTube growth, documentary-style content, and high-quality podcast interviews with organized production workflows.

I’m a creative screenwriter and content producer with a strong background in digital media, podcast production, and SEO-driven content strategy. I write SEO-optimized YouTube titles, thumbnail hooks, and descriptions to improve search visibility and audience retention.

In my recent role, I research algorithm trends, develop documentary-style video scripts, and coordinate production workflows for multiple programs. I also draft production sheets, conduct guest research, and manage on-location shoots—sourcing, interviewing, and communicating with guests to keep quality and momentum high.

I’ve also strengthened my content fundamentals by writing SEO-optimized travel and wildlife articles remotely, improving website visibility through keyword strategy and targeted storytelling. With teaching experience and structured script feedback work, I bring clarity, organization, and a collaborative approach to every production and content plan.
