I create polished podcast content, promotional clips, captions, branded social assets, and platform-specific edits for YouTube, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, and podcast distribution.

My background in radio, podcasting, Adobe Audition, CapCut, and Premiere Pro allows me to combine strong audio production with clear storytelling, pacing, and audience-focused editing.

Available for freelance, contract, remote, and part-time podcast production, audio editing, and video editing work.

FEATURED WORK

Podcast Promo Clip 01

60-second social promo created from a podcast excerpt paired with archival home-video footage. I selected the audio segment, edited visuals to match pacing and tone, added captions, branding overlays, transitions, and a closing call-to-action for social distribution. This sample demonstrates audio-first storytelling, pacing, and content packaging for online audiences.

  • Tools: CapCut Desktop, Adobe Audition
  • Format: Horizontal social media YouTube video

 

Talking Head Podcast Clip

Short-form talking-head clip created from long-form podcast footage. Edited for pacing, removed dead space, added captions, reframed for vertical viewing, and shaped into a platform-ready social clip. This sample demonstrates direct-to-camera content editing, retention-focused pacing, and short-form formatting.
