About Me!

Hello! I’m a creative who enjoys bringing stories to life through video. Over time, I’ve gained hands-on experience with editing, audio mixing, and color correction, using tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Illustrator, InDesign, and DaVinci Resolve.

My work includes creating short-form vertical videos for Kanakuk Kamps and Adelsberger Marketing, where I learned how to adapt content for different audiences and platforms.
