What I'm looking for
I am a creative and results-driven video editor with over a decade of experience in post-production, animation, and storytelling. My expertise lies in transforming ideas into polished video assets that engage audiences across various digital platforms. I am a strong collaborator with a passion for visual narrative, efficiency, and brand alignment.
Throughout my career, I have directed and edited promotional videos, explainers, and social content for clients in education, trades, and nonprofit sectors. One of my notable achievements includes producing a grant video for Oregon Tradeswomen that directly supported a successful $100K funding request. I have also led high-volume video projects at Lyon & Associates Creative Services, where I reduced turnaround time by 45% through the implementation of innovative workflows and tools.
My technical skills include proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud, DaVinci Resolve, and Final Cut Pro, along with expertise in video editing, color grading, and motion graphics. I thrive in collaborative environments, working closely with producers, writers, and designers to meet delivery goals and ensure that every project aligns with brand identity and timelines.
