What I'm looking for

I’m looking to drive YouTube and sponsorship growth through smart video packaging, tight copywriting, and performance-informed iteration—ideally with a collaborative team that values human editorial judgment alongside AI-assisted speed.

I’m a content marketing and creative specialist with 10+ years of experience developing scripts, shorts, thumbnails, community posts, sponsorship materials, and direct-response content for sales-driven brands. I combine copywriting, AI-assisted design, and video packaging to help content earn attention and drive viewer action.

Recently, I edited and reviewed YouTube content while creating AI-assisted graphics and supporting a 90%+ increase in Shorts views over a 28-day period. I also build sponsorship packages and proposals, translate audience data into sponsor-facing narratives, and iterate based on performance insights across the YouTube funnel.
