What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters creativity and allows for impactful storytelling.

With over 19 years of experience in video production, I have honed my skills in content creation, video editing, and motion graphics. My journey has been marked by a commitment to building strong client relationships through effective communication and compelling visual storytelling. I have successfully led large-scale projects and developed creative marketing strategies that have significantly elevated brand presence across various digital platforms.

Throughout my career, I have managed freelance content creation for notable clients such as Equity Trust Financial and the Cleveland Cavaliers. My role as a Creative Team Producer for Netflix's Baby Animal Cam led to over 5 million organic views, showcasing my ability to engage audiences effectively. I am passionate about leveraging social media trends to boost community growth and audience engagement, and I am actively seeking a senior-level role in Video Production or Asset Management to contribute to long-term organizational success.
