Dedicated video editor seeking an Assistant Editor position.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
As a dedicated and fast-learning video editor, I am passionate about leveraging my expertise in project organization, production streamlining, and social media content creation. My goal is to enhance brand digital presence by optimizing content for platforms like YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram, utilizing my deep understanding of platform needs based on their trends and algorithms.
Throughout my career, I have successfully contributed to various projects, including viral promotions and podcast channels. At Off the Charts, my editing led to a promo going viral with 75K views, while my work on the In The Moment Podcast streamlined the editing process for over 50 hours of dailies in just two weeks. My experience at A Flower in Fire Productions resulted in a successful concept trailer that contributed to a film's acquisition at BET and a nomination at the Micheaux Film Festival.
With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film and Media Production from the New York Film Academy, I possess advanced skills in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut, and Avid Media Composer. I am eager to bring my skills to an Assistant Editor position where I can continue to grow and make impactful contributions.
