What I'm looking for

I’m seeking hands-on video/creative roles where I can produce storytelling-driven edits, contribute motion graphics, and work within collaborative, deadline-oriented teams that value reliability and creative problem solving.

I am a self-taught video editor and creative specialist with six years of experience producing visual stories, motion graphics, and multi-cam edits. I combine hands-on technical expertise in Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Lightroom with disciplined, reliable operational skills developed through long-term independent contracting and leadership roles.

I have shipped end-to-end projects from raw footage selection and audio syncing to color grading and final delivery, and I have produced sports highlight reels and motion-graphics-driven content. I consistently deliver high-quality customer service and performance, maintaining excellent ratings while meeting time-sensitive scheduling and workflow demands.

Outside of project work, I have a track record of community engagement and fundraising—raising significant funds for St. Jude’s and volunteering with local organizations—and I bring strong communication, collaboration, and conflict-resolution skills to every team I join.
