What I'm looking for
As a creative and retention-focused video editor with over 5 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to helping creators, brands, and startups produce engaging content that resonates with audiences.

I leverage audience behavior insights, platform algorithms, and strong storytelling techniques to ensure that every piece of content performs at its best.
Throughout my career, I have successfully delivered over 200 edits across platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, achieving significant boosts in viewer retention. My role as Creative Head at Investors Point allowed me to build a media team and implement efficient workflows, resulting in the production of over 100 videos in just six months.
