What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to create impactful visual content while collaborating with dynamic teams in a creative environment.

I am a passionate freelance video editor and visual storyteller based in Antigua, Guatemala. With a focus on helping brands grow through high-impact content, I specialize in editing both short-form and long-form videos tailored for social media, marketing campaigns, and YouTube channels. My work has garnered millions of views, showcasing my ability to transform raw footage into polished final cuts that enhance audience retention and brand visibility across the UK, Europe, and LATAM.

Previously, I served as the Country Manager for Maximo Nivel, where I led a busy international education institute. I managed a team of 52 staff and oversaw all business operations, including finance, marketing, and PR. My leadership drove annual revenues exceeding $500K and expanded our reach in local and global markets. Additionally, my experience as a News Reporter for The Olive Press allowed me to hone my skills in digital storytelling, producing original video reports that significantly boosted audience engagement.
