What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my creativity and storytelling skills while contributing to impactful projects in a collaborative environment.

As a creative and detail-oriented video editor with over three years of experience, I specialize in video content creation, social media management, and storytelling. My expertise lies in editing compelling videos that enhance visual narratives and optimize content for engagement across various digital platforms. I am adept at leveraging trendy editing techniques, motion graphics, and transitions to produce high-quality, engaging videos that align with brand goals.

In my recent role at ZONICME-MyYanga, I successfully created and edited high-quality visual content, managed a content calendar, and designed eye-catching social media posts. My efforts led to a remarkable 35% increase in social media engagement through creative storytelling and strategic content planning. Currently, as a freelance video content creator, I continue to produce and edit engaging video content tailored to brand narratives while staying on top of content trends to drive maximum reach and engagement.
