00:00:11:08 — Summary

Twelve years,
one timeline.

Creative video editor with 12+ years across direct-response advertising, YouTube, podcasts, corporate video, and event production. I've worked both sides of the camera — shooting, directing, and cutting the final deliverable — for hospitality brands, municipal clients, and U.S. D2C companies alike.

At TubeScience, I edit direct-response ads for U.S. brands including Hims, HelloFresh, Good Chop, Noom, and Pets Table. Brands have put $2M+ in ad spend behind the ads I've edited, with my top ad scaling to $777K after testing. Earlier, I led full-service photo, video, and social production for hospitality and municipal clients in Guatemala. Fluent in Spanish and English.
