Description
I've spent the last 8+ years working professionally in post-production, editing everything from broadcast television and award shows to documentaries, live events, corporate productions, and independent projects. I've often been responsible for taking a project all the way from media preparation and organization through the edit, revisions, graphics, audio, finishing, QC, and final delivery.
A big part of my experience has been finding the story. I've edited interview-driven documentaries, recurring television series, live performances, multicam productions with up to 15 cameras, and projects where I was often required to make the editorial decisions myself or with a team. I'm comfortable working with a lot of material, finding what matters, shaping the pacing, and adapting the edit to the personality and purpose of the project.
I'm now looking to bring that experience into YouTube and work with creators who care about the quality of their long-form content. I don't come from a traditional YouTube-editor background, but I do bring years of professional editorial experience, a strong storytelling foundation, and the ability to take a project from raw footage to a finished video without needing to be walked through the process.
