Short Form Editor Specialist

I began studying video editing during my Journalism studies at university, and since graduating, I've developed a deep passion for creating video content. My interest in video production grew further when I launched my own LGBTQ+ blog during the COVID-19 pandemic, which helped increase my social media following and ultimately secured my first full-time media job. Through opportunities like interviewing celebrities such as Sir Ian McKellen and PinkNews founder Benjamin Cohen, I was recruited by PinkNews as a full-time Producer.

Over the past three years at PinkNews, I’ve been the sole editor for content covering global events such as the Olympics, World Cup, and Eurovision. Despite focusing on a niche, my content consistently reaches a mainstream audience, with many of my videos amassing millions of views overnight. I've also played a key role in growing our TikTok audience from 80k to over 700k, with several viral videos. I have a keen eye for engaging content and understand how to craft stories that resonate.

In recent years, I’ve also incorporated AI tools into my editing process, which has significantly enhanced my efficiency and overall editing capabilities.

I am passionate about creating engaging content and thrive on analyzing numbers and statistics. I enjoy collaborating with big creators on ambitious projects. Having followed the evolution of YouTube and online content creation from the very beginning, my passion for video creation has only deepened.

I believe I can assist any editor in selecting the most engaging clips and angles to maximize online engagement, and I can also provide SEO support. My editing skills and deep knowledge of various social media platforms are a testament to my ability to successfully collaborate with creators, and I would love to pursue this as a career.
