Greetings! I’m an adaptable professional who blends a passion for education, cross-cultural interaction, and human resources. Drawing on my experience in anthropology, digital media, and HR administration, I deliver insight-driven, solution-oriented results on every project. 🌟Education: I hold a BS in Anthropology from The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, graduating with honors. This sparked my curiosity about cultures and human interaction. Additionally, I earned an AS in Digital Media Technology from Santa Fe College, graduating with honors and top of my class for layout design. 🌟International Journey: My quest for growth led me through 18 countries, fostering connections with diverse cultures. Volunteering in Workaway.info communities honed my agricultural skills and deepened my understanding of the environment. 🌟ESL and Cultural Exchange: As a freelance ESL instructor, I've merged education and exploration. I design engaging lessons covering grammar, business terminology, and more. I conduct mock interviews, boost confidence, and create interactive learning with games. My adaptability shines as I manage IT issues across time zones during my travels. 🌟Human Resources Expertise: I bring years of diverse HR experience supporting recruitment, onboarding, payroll, and employee transitions across higher education and IT environments. At the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, I managed hiring and onboarding for over 100 non-exempt staff, organized large-scale training events, and led process improvements in collaboration with HR leadership. Currently, as an IT HR Coordinator at the University of South Florida, I guide employment actions, lead detailed onboarding meetings, and help teams navigate approvals and systems following the university’s transition to Oracle. My background includes coordinating offer letters, managing compliance records, and providing dependable support across departments - all while maintaining a people-first, positive approach. 🌟Graphic Design and Creativity: As a Graphic Designer at ID Solutions Inc., I managed projects, optimized production, and reduced waste. 🌟Personal Growth: International experiences transformed me into a resilient, adaptable professional with a calmer demeanor, appreciation for the environment, and ability to navigate challenges gracefully. Excited to foster cross-cultural understanding, education, and organizational excellence. Let's connect!

Your content shouldn't be the reason your business feels invisible online. If you're posting but not growing, or growing but not converting, the problem usually isn't effort — it's that nobody's actually running the process end to end: editing, AI video, and platform strategy all pulling in the same direction. That's the gap I close. I work with coaches, personal brands, agencies, wellness businesses, fitness creators, beauty brands, local service providers, and startups — handling everything from Reels and YouTube video editing to AI-powered video creation to full social media management, all shaped around what the business actually needs, not generic content for content's sake. Most freelancers cover one piece — shooting, editing, or posting. I bring editing, AI video, YouTube strategy, and account management together under one roof, so you're not managing three different people and hoping they're aligned. You hand things over once, and it gets handled. What I Offer: Video Editing (Reels, TikTok & YouTube) 🔹 YouTube video editing — long-form, Shorts, and channel-consistent pacing 🔹 Instagram Reels and TikTok editing (YouTube Shorts too) 🔹 Talking-head video editing — trimming, pacing, captions, intro/outro branding 🔹 UGC-style and promotional video editing 🔹 Turning podcast recordings and webinars into short-form clips and YouTube-ready cuts AI Video Creation 🔹 AI avatar videos with HeyGen — faceless or talking-head content when filming isn't an option 🔹 AI-generated visuals and B-roll with Runway — filling footage gaps or building full concept videos from nothing 🔹 Natural-sounding AI voiceovers with ElevenLabs — multiple tones and languages available 🔹 Script to finished video — avatar, voice, visuals, and captions built entirely without a camera when needed 🔹 One AI-generated concept repurposed into several Reels/TikTok/YouTube variations for faster testing Instagram Reels & Social Media Management 🔹 Day-to-day management of your TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube (Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest available too) 🔹 Scheduling and calendar upkeep using Metricool, Later, Buffer, Hootsuite, or Meta Business Suite Content Strategy 🔹 Building out monthly content calendars 🔹 Repurposing one piece of long-form content into several Reels/TikTok/YouTube posts 🔹 Growth planning specifically for YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram Content Creation & Design 🔹 Writing captions, copy, and social media content 🔹 Scripting videos and crafting scroll-stopping hooks 🔹 Canva design work — posts, carousels, stories, ads, templates, and brand kits Send raw clips, half-formed ideas, podcast files, long-form content, a general vision, or nothing at all if you want fully AI-built video — and it comes back polished and platform-ready for your specific audience. I build a real content system for your brand so you're never wondering what's next. Steady output, an organized monthly calendar, content matched to your visual style and goals, delivered within 24-48 hours so your page — and channel — stays active. AI Tools I Use ChatGPT for ideation and copy support, Midjourney for AI imagery, Runway for AI video and B-roll, HeyGen for avatar-based talking video, ElevenLabs for voiceovers and audio. Together these let me build full videos from scratch when there's no footage, or fill gaps fast when there is, always staying true to your brand's tone. Software & Platforms CapCut · Adobe Premiere Pro · After Effects · Canva · Figma · ChatGPT · Midjourney · Runway · HeyGen · ElevenLabs · Metricool · Buffer · Later · Hootsuite · Meta Business Suite · Asana · Notion · Trello · ClickUp · Planable · Google Workspace · Slack · Zoom · Google Drive · Dropbox Why Clients Choose Me I don't just check boxes — I take real ownership of the content process. Once I understand your brand, audience, and goals, I move independently, stay ahead of deadlines, flag issues early before they become real problems, and keep a consistent posting cadence running smoothly without needing to be managed. Whether your team runs on Asana, Trello, ClickUp, Planable, or Notion, I plug into your existing setup and get to work immediately. Ready to Get Started? If you want a Video Editor, YouTube specialist, and AI content creator who owns the process fully and treats your brand like their own, reach out. Share your goals, pain points, and what you're building toward, and I'll come back with a clear plan for your YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram presence.
