Video editing has always felt intuitive to me. In many ways, it reminds me of mathematics—combining variables to create an outcome that just makes sense. Even if a video is just one or two frames too long (1/24th of a second), something can feel off. There’s a rhythm to editing, whether it’s matching visuals to the flow of conversation or an actual song, that when done right, clicks into place effortlessly.
There are different ways to reach that result, but ultimately, there’s a right one. Finding it can be tedious, which is why many people shy away from editing (or from math). But I’ve always been drawn to puzzles, mysteries, and strategy games; challenges that require patience and problem-solving. That same passion fuels my editing. I take pride in the time, focus, and precision I bring to every project, working as long as it takes to create something that truly works.
I was fortunate to attend a high school with a strong creative media program, where I gained hands-on experience in video production, editing, and graphic design—and where I first realized this could actually be a career path. I graduated from Montclair State University in 2024 with a major in Educational Foundations and a minor in Film Studies. Since then, I’ve continued to grow my skills through real-world projects, personal experimentation, and a lot of late nights learning new techniques.
Now, I’m working towards building a creative career focused on video editing, particularly short-form content that helps individuals and businesses grow their brands, connect with their audiences, and express their messages more clearly. I’m passionate about making content that’s not only engaging but meaningful, and I’m always excited to collaborate with people who want to bring their ideas to life through powerful visuals and thoughtful storytelling.
Outside of editing, I love traveling, exploring new places, hiking, and trying different foods; anything that helps me experience life to the fullest. One of my biggest goals is to combine my creative work with my love for adventure, whether that means working with clients all over the country or taking on projects abroad. I want a life full of stories, both the ones I help tell through video and the ones I collect along the way.
