About
I’m a producer, director, and editor who owns content end to end, from idea and direction through production, post, and distribution, then reads the numbers and iterates. I’ve worked across independent media, studios, agencies, and a large regional newsroom, so I move fast without breaking editorial standards and build the systems that let a team produce at volume. My channels have pulled 40M+ views and 200K+ followers, and I’m a certified TikTok media buyer. I’m looking for a creative producer, senior editor, or production lead role where I can own outcomes and scale what works.
