Description

From documentary film editing to YouTube storytelling, I’ve continuously evolved as a visual storyteller. I began self-learning editing over a decade ago, refining my craft through hands-on experience, mentorship, and curiosity. Over the years, I’ve edited long-form nonfiction films for National Geographic and DocuBay, and transitioned into digital-first content with creators like Mark Wiens (11.2M) and Slapped Ham (1.65M).

A recent milestone has been leading the post-production for a mystery channel from zero to 1.6M subscribers—helping shape its narrative voice from scratch. I’m constantly learning, most recently diving deep into AI-assisted editing tools to streamline workflows without compromising storytelling quality.

I’m passionate about making stories feel immersive and emotionally engaging. My strength lies in understanding a creator’s unique tone and translating it into tight, rhythmically engaging edits that resonate with audiences. Where others may follow templates, I bring a documentary-level sensitivity to pacing, music, and structure—blending old-school storytelling with modern tools to help creators stand out in a saturated space.
