At the legacy media outlet Fortune, I worked as a Video Producer scripting, hosting, and editing dozens of videos covering business, politics, economics, and tech for the brand's YouTube channel and website. Immediately after joining the team and throughout my first 6 months there, Fortune's YouTube channel experienced a year-to-year 365% revenue increase as a result of more than doubling average video views and drastically increasing watch time, while also adding over 51,000 subscribers.

At The Messenger, I created short-form and long-form video pieces covering a variety of topics. I also helped craft the look of the brand's video content by developing motion graphic templates and creating bespoke animations for the rest of the social video team. We earned millions of views and gained +700,000 followers across the outlet's 9 month old social media accounts, even earning YouTube's Silver Play Button shortly after the brand shut down in 2024.

In my role at Jenkem Magazine, alongside editing a variety of short-form and long-form video pieces, I’ve worked with the outlet to produce a series of documentaries covering untold stories within skate culture. In my efforts producing the series as a director, writer, editor, and motion designer, we’ve covered a slew of topics in Jenkem's beloved irreverent and informed perspective.
