At Freelance B2B Marketing for various clients, I produce digital media campaigns from planning through final delivery. My content has received 2 million+ views, grown accounts by 100K+ new followers, and doubled web traffic on average.

For Field Unit, I created pitch decks for music videos and commercials and assisted with multimedia story development. I also managed social accounts and helped grow the Instagram following.

At AFTERTHOUGHT GROUP, I developed and produced a biweekly newsletter that grew to a few thousand subscribers within six months. I also wrote and edited articles, verified reporting with source citations, and covered policy changes from the IMF, WB, NATO, and WTO.

At Brush Fire Records, I assisted with production planning and coordination, and acted as DIT by handling data storage and creating dailies for the editing team. Outside film and marketing, I’m interested in automotive fabrication and machining.
